About the Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge
The magical Cotswold Way provides a stunning setting for a testing challenge - with some fantastic views and tough hills.
There are rolling hills, villages, footpaths and trails. You’ll get full support and hospitality, including optional university style accommodation at our base camp in Cirencester.
Choose from the full challenge, three-quarter challenge, half challenge, quarter distance or 10k option.
You can walk, jog or run, as an individual or as a team.
