Overview

The White Peak Trails 50km is a fixed trail race scheduled for 2026-11-21 in Ashbourne, United Kingdom. Organised by Ranger Ultras, the event offers a low-density starting pack on the trail, with a field smaller than 57% of 50k peers and bigger than 42% across 2839 comparable races.

That small footprint was evident when 29 runners crossed the line in 2024. Competitors can expect open trail ahead rather than congested singletrack, paired with an established record tracing back through 8 editions since 2016. Entry sits at £53-55 for the 50km distance, keeping participant commitments modest for late-autumn trail racing.
