One day, four events…..There is a distance to suit all. Pick your race……..10k, Half Marathon, Marathon or Ultra Marathon. What more could you ask for?

Come and join ETC for an epic day of running in and around the stunning City of Ely and the surrounding Fenland countryside. Each distance follows the same route, with differing turnaround points, and support stations approximately every 10k.

This is a low key, friendly event on a mostly flat course (apart from that last, cheeky little climb back up to the Cathedral and the awaiting finish line).

Location: Start/Finish outside the iconic Ely Cathedral, CB7 4DL

Distances: Ultra 66k, Marathon 42k, Half Marathon 21k, 10k

Full Route (Ultra): Start outside the awesome Ely Cathedral, through the City onto the river bank path of the River Great Ouse. Follow this path through Wicken Fen, the first ever National Trust site, onto White Fen. Onwards onto the path along the River Cam, following the path to the outskirts of Cambridge – the halfway point. Follow the same route back to the ‘Ship of the Fens’.

Turnaround points for the other distances:
10k – just before Barway village
Half Marathon – just before entering the village of Wicken
Marathon – the far side of Wicken Fen near Upware

There is a cut-off point for the Ultra distance: you must be at the halfway point by 1300 to be allowed to continue. Finish – 1900. As there will be Ultra runners out on course for most of the day, there are no cut-off times for the other distances.

If unaffiliated to UK Athletics or Trail Running Association – additional cost of £2.00

Finishers will receive an ETC medal and technical t-shirt, plus that warm, fuzzy feeling of achievement.

Age limits:
10K and half marathon - 16 on the day of the event
Marathon – 18
Ultra - 20

Prizes – Half Marathon, Marathon and Ultra: Male & Female 1st (£50) 2nd (£30) 3rd (£15) plus Trophy.

This event is run under UK Athletics and Trail Running Association rules and is permitted.
