Ultra Races

Several Ealing Eagles take part in longer ultrarunning events, with an ‘ultra’ being defined as any event covering a distance longer than a marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2km).

These events often take place on the trails, however there are road-based and track-based events. In addition, these events may take various formats from non-stop to multi-day settings.

There is a separate Facebook group called ‘Ultra Eagles’ for anyone seeking support or to find out more.

Linked here is a spreadsheet of the key ultra events (UK-based list, unless an Eagle has registered for an international event).

If something is missing in the linked document, please feel free to add to this, following the headings within.

Following our annual ultra-marathon talk back in June this year, please check out the presentation links below from our speakers. Here you will find lots of valuable tips and tricks, recommendations, and advice.
