Malvern Hills Ultra

About this event

The Malvern Hills Ultra tackles one of England's most characterful ridge systems, following the ancient Worcestershire Way through rolling countryside. Starting from Abberley Village Hall, runners navigate their own way across steep climbs and exposed ridgelines, with the longest route covering 47 miles and nearly 3,000 metres of climbing. The self-navigation element adds mental challenge to the physical demand — GPX files are provided, but route-finding skills matter. Four distance options (from 23 to 47 miles) let runners choose their level of suffering, though all require solid hill fitness and navigation confidence. Designated pacers called Time Lords help keep everyone on schedule within the 13-hour limit. It's a proper test on technical terrain, best suited to experienced trail runners ready for serious elevation and independent navigation in the Worcestershire hills.
