About the Event

Test your resolve on the ancient, rugged spine of the Malvern Hills Ultra on 2nd May 2026, a uniquely flexible challenge offering four distinct distances—23, 31, 38, or the formidable 47-mile route—all sharing the iconic Worcestershire Way. Starting and finishing at Abberley Village Hall, the flagship 47-mile course presents a relentless out-and-back journey with nearly 3,000m of ascent, threading through stunning ridges and past historic landmarks like British Camp. Navigate with confidence using provided GPX files and join the legendary "Time Lords," pacers guiding groups to finish within the 13-hour cutoff, ensuring no runner faces the hills alone. With UTMB qualifying points on offer and every finisher earning a commemorative medal and choice of technical apparel, the 2026 edition balances serious ultra pedigree with a deeply supportive community spirit. Secure your place to chase a spot in the event’s prestigious Hall of Fame and experience a classic English trail race where personal triumph is measured in both miles and millennia-old vistas.
