Expect dramatic views and scenery unlike any other Ultra Challenge. Join as an individual or as a team and get ready to experience full support every step of the way. Regular Rest Stops packed with food & drink, hot meals, fully marked routes, massage & medical care, marshals on course and walking the route with you, and of course an unbeatable community. There’s a range of camping options & transfers available for all Challengers so you can plan your whole weekend smoothly. Join the UK’s #1 Series of treks & trail runs in 2027, and push yourself further with The Borders Ultra Challenge.
