Thames Trot Ultra

A tough run along the Thames from Oxford to Henley. Ever changing scenery on the river with beautiful houses and traditional rowing club houses. This is one of the best waymarked routes we have come across.This is a great race with everything from tarmac paths to muddy trails, using the banks and towpaths of England’s largest river as well as footpaths and bridleways we have created an Ultra distance course that will always keep you interested and challenged. Well stocked feed stations and enthusiastic support complete what promises to be a great day out.
The start is approximately 3 miles south of Oxford. From the Hotel there is a short jog down to Iffley lock and after crossing the river the route takes the towpath heading South. The run follows the course of the Thames to that other great rowing venue Henley, a short walk from the railway station which is good for car parking or transport back to Oxford.
Since the outset Thames Trot has been a qualifying race for Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® a fact which we are quite proud of. The race counts 3 points towards qualification for the UMTB long course.
