At GB Ultras, we offer a unique platform of stunning supported ultra-marathon events along some of the most beautiful trails in Britain, yet you’ll be pleased to know our principle focus has never changed, we focus on supporting the runner as much as we can, regardless of whether the runner is new to ultra-running or already very experienced in the sport.
We also do our very best to welcome the runner to the GB ULTRAS Race Series via our online GB Ultras Community where each runner is the source of inspiration for one another.
Our ambition at GB Ultras is to create a remarkable set of events built for the ultra runner with the build up throughout race season culminating in the 215 mile Race Across Scotland®!
2022 sees the addition of Ultra Wales to the Race Series as well as Live Online GPS Tracking once again being utilised across the ultra-marathons' through GB Race Tracker to maximise the event experience in real-time.
As we continue to move forward through the COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to thank everyone for all the continued support they have given to ourselves and others within the community and we look forward to seeing you on the Start line in 2022 or as a member of our remarkable GB Ultras team!
