Overview
The South Hams Ultra 100 miles is a trail race scheduled for October 10, 2026, starting from the Flete Estate in the United Kingdom. With 4,890 meters of elevation gain across 161 kilometers, the route demands 30.4 meters of climbing per kilometer as it traverses public rights of way, bridleways, coastal paths, parts of Dartmoor National Park, South Hams countryside, and five estuaries.
The 35-hour time limit requires an average pace of 13 minutes per kilometer. Against 45 peer events in the 100-mile category, this cutoff is more generous than 53% of races and tighter than 47%, offering a middle-of-the-pack buffer to handle the continuous coastal and moorland ascents. Wild Running Events sets the entry fee at £95.
