What you’re in for
The Sunday races at the Goring Gap Trails Festival, both looping from Mapledurham House near Reading. The 52km uses the Thames Path and the Ridgeway on mostly flat trail, footpath and quiet lanes, and is pitched as a first ultra. The half marathon is a relaxed, untimed-feeling run on a similar riverside route with no cut-off. Both courses are signed and marshalled at tricky spots, and a QR code on your number shows the route on your phone. The 52km starts at 08:00 with a 9-hour cut-off and six support stations. The half starts at 10:00 with two support stations. Everyone is tracked live, and there is free parking, camping and a bar at the race village.
