What's on

Race to the Stones

Saturday 12 July 2025 to Sunday 13 July 2025

Lewknor, Oxfordshire

Traverse Britain’s oldest footpath as you race towards the 5000-year-old Avebury Standing Stones!

The 100K course

Britain’s oldest road, the Ridgewa, follows the same route over high ground used by herdsmen and travellers since prehistoric times. Explore a remarkably isolated and unspoilt corner of Southern England through some of its most ancient landscapes, finishing by the 5000-year-old Avebury Standing Stones, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Want to break it up? You can complete Race to the Stones 100K over two days, staying overnight at Threshold’s iconic basecamp halfway.

  • Dates: 12 - 13 July
  • Route: Lewknor to Avebury
  • Distance: 100km
  • Elevation: 1340m

The 50k day one course

Running through woodlands and along ridgelines, the day one 50K course doesn’t skimp on scenery. Finishing at basecamp, you’ll enjoy hot food, a well-stocked bar and a friendly, chilled out atmosphere in which to bask in the glow of your achievement.

  • 12 July 2025
  • Route: Lewknor to Wantage
  • Distance: 50km
  • Elevation: 710m

The 50k day two course

Finishing at the ancient village of Avebury, the day two 50K course offers spectacular views and supremely runnable terrain underfoot. A faster, flatter course than day one, it’s an ideal event on which to make your ultra debut, or test the waters before committing to the full 100K.

  • Route: Wantage to Averbury
  • Distance: 50km
  • Elevation: 630m
