Description:
A fabulous 43 mile point to point race well established as the season opener to the Ultra race calendar. This is historically a sell out event that takes you through the stunning Buckinghamshire countryside and crossing the M25 (by bridge of course!) We then make our way through the picturesque village of Denham where we pick up the Grand Union Canal tow path for the final run into London. The finish is next the Little Venice canal basin at the Stowe Centre in the heart of London near to Paddington station and Royal Oak tube station. This will be a fully tracked and interactive race so friends and family will be able to follow your progress from the comfort of their armchairs – and also you can make sure that you are following the route! We are proud to be an Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc index race To add to the excitement its not unusual to find runners from literally all over the world on the start line. Thanks to Alex at Ultrarunner magazine for my interview about the race https://www.ultrarunnermagazine.co.uk/country-to-capital-simon-hollis/
