Cotswold Way Ultra Challenge 2027

The challenge

Our Cirencester basecamp is the start of the 100km looped route through the heart of the Cotswolds, providing a stunning setting for 2000 or so adventurers to test themselves. 

Rolling hills, villages, footpaths & stunning views to take on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run – and fundraise for your favourite charity! Join as an individual or as a team - you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping, university style accommodation and transfers, a special medal, t-shirt and celebration finish. 

With 50km, 25km and 10km distance option as well – there’s a Cotswold’s Way Challenge for everyone! Push yourself further in 2027, take on an Ultra Challenge – the UK’s number one series of treks and trails.
