Offering a raw, untamed route, this is an unforgettable ultramarathon for runners who want to test their endurance away from the manicured paths of mainstream events.

Beacon Race Events are renowned for their no-nonsense ethos: raw trails, no shortcuts and a deep respect for the land. The Round 100 perfectly encapsulates this philosophy, demanding grit, solid navigation and relentless determination from start to finish.

Course

Running 100 miles requires mental engagement just as much as physical fitness, and this route delivers a constantly changing, staggeringly beautiful backdrop.

• The Terrain: Do not expect easy, paved trails. You will be navigating a beautifully brutal mix of old mining country, rough farmland, steep punchy climbs and ancient, unpolished tracks. The route guarantees to test your technical footwork as much as your stamina.
• Iconic Landmarks: The race follows the historic Leicestershire Round, a celebrated circular long-distance footpath that showcases the absolute best of the county. You will run through sweeping, rolling countryside and pass multiple iconic regional landmarks.

Event Support and Checkpoints

Taking on a 100 mile ultramarathon is a monumental undertaking, and the Beacon Race Events team ensures you are thoroughly supported while you suffer!

• The Checkpoints: Checkpoints are where races are saved. You will be supported by a network of 9 fully stocked aid stations manned by dedicated volunteers, ready to provide food, hydration and the vital encouragement needed to get you back out into the dark.
• Safety & Tracking: As standard with premium 100 mile events, runners are typically provided with live GPS tracking, ensuring race HQ can monitor your safety and allowing your friends and family to dot-watch your progress from home.
