Rowbotham's Round Rotherham is a long established 50 mile trail ultra following an undulating route around Rotherham and the surrounding South Yorkshire countryside. Starting and finishing at Manvers Waterfront Boat Club, the course uses trails, tracks, field paths, towpaths and surfaced sections.
Runners cover approximately 80K with around 1,200m of climbing across eight stages, with checkpoints positioned around the route. Conditions underfoot vary from firm tracks and paths to woodland and field sections that can become muddy in wet weather, creating a varied endurance challenge around the Rotherham boundary.
The full route can be completed individually or as a relay, with relay changes taking place at checkpoints around the course. First held in 1983 and based on a route devised by Ralph Rowbotham, the event has developed a long history within British trail and ultra running.
