Extreme Energy is delighted to announce a one day 25 km challenges. These events are open to walkers and runners, young and old, experienced or in-experienced. Our objective is to create a 25km “intro” Half Ultra Distance Event. We have made everything easy for our competitors on a scenic trail route, which is easily accessible by road and rail. It is fully marked and very well supported en-route. Why an “intro” half ultra? Whilst the experienced competitor will enjoy taking part in these events, we wanted to attract more people into the great world of ultra running by putting on an all encompassing one day event. The Chilterns are a stunning part of the country side and the route, whilst hilly in places, has great views and a mixture of terrain.

Route

The "Chiltern 25Km Challenge" is run on National Trails and Footpaths and has some excellent markings in the form of signposts or post discs. However, since it's made up of sections of these trails and paths the route will be comprehensively marked with signs and confidence tape. In addition, you will be given a map, which is designed to help on any tricky sections, to provide information on any route changes and to indicate where the checkpoints are.
