The Three Shires Way Ultra and Marathon follows the historic Three Shires Way through the rural landscapes of Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. Offering both Marathon and 50 mile ultra distances, the event takes runners along a well established network of bridleways, footpaths and countryside trails linking villages, woodland and open farmland.
The 50 mile ultra starts in Hanslope and follows the Three Shires Way across the county boundaries before finishing at Grafham Water. The Marathon joins the route further along in Yelden and shares the same finish, providing a shorter but equally rewarding trail running challenge. Both races are point to point events that showcase the quiet countryside and varied terrain of the region.
Suitable for runners stepping up in distance as well as experienced endurance athletes, the event combines accessible navigation, generous cut off times and scenic trails. With routes designed to highlight the best of the Three Shires Way, it offers a memorable long distance adventure through the English countryside.
