Beat the Sunset 50K is organised by Racing Line Running in Maidenhead, Berkshire. The ultramarathon challenges participants to complete a scenic 50K circuit through the Thames Valley before sunset, offering an introduction to ultra distance running alongside a rewarding challenge for experienced runners.
Starting and finishing at Summerleaze Park, the route follows a single circuit incorporating the Thames Path, Jubilee River and Green Way. Runners encounter riverside towpaths, woodland trails, footpaths and quiet roads, with approximately three quarters of the course on firm off road surfaces. The predominantly flat terrain includes some gentle undulations, with around 235 metres of climbing across the full distance.
The fully marked course features four checkpoints providing drinks and refreshments, with personal nutrition available at later stations. Chip timing and live tracking allow supporters to follow runners' progress, while finishers receive a medal and event mementoes. The sunset deadline adds a distinctive challenge to this Thames Valley ultramarathon.
