What you’re in for

The summer version of the Salisbury Plain race, offering a 50km ultra, a marathon and a half marathon on the byways and tracks of the UK's largest military training area. Expect hard climbs, exposed chalk downland and stretches of stony military road. It starts and finishes at Old Fowler Barracks near Ludgershall, the same base as the winter edition. The route is fully marked, with stocked aid stations, marshals at major road crossings and a medical team. The organiser lists the date as TBC; there are no deferrals in the last four weeks before the event.

: No course file for the Salisbury Plain Summer Edition yet, so there's no measured climb here. When AND-OVER Trail Events publish one, this fills in.
