Open your calendar 🗓️, grab your trail shoes 👟 and prepare your best English accent 🇬🇧, because in April, you have a date in the South Downs National Park for the Spring Trail Series 😄. This event, organized by Ultra X, is not just a race, it's a total immersion into English landscapes worthy of J.K. Rowling novels 🪄. This race is located in Haslemere, in the region of Surrey, south of England. Yes, here, you can feel like Harry Potter🧙 running through the misty plains, without having to fight Voldemort (fortunately) 😅.
This course is part of the prestigious UTMB® World Circuit, so it's the perfect opportunity to take on internationally renowned trails 🌍. No need to be a wizard or a professional athlete to participate, there's something for everyone! Spring Trail Series offers five distances: the toughest 🥵 is the 110 km, accumulating 1,563 mD+, you'll definitely feel the burn in your thighs! 🔥 For just as much challenge or almost, you can take on 75 km with 1,362 mD+. If you're unsure of your abilities and fear that your legs might give in towards the end, choose the 50 km with their 1,088 mD+ which will still satiate you 🙃. If you're simply a fan or a trail enthusiast who prefers shorter distances, the 25 km route is for you with its 572 mD+ 😁. Furthermore, you can go for a 12 km that offers 130 mD+. This gives you a good introduction to trail, without being too daunting! 😧 Whatever distance you choose, you won't regret your registration! The Spring Trail Series is organized by Ultra X, does that ring a bell? You know, all those races around the world like in Morocco 🇲🇦, Rwanda 🇷🇼, Tanzania 🇹🇿, or in Scotland 🏴, to name a few ⚡️. As always with Ultra X events, it's much more than just races – they're experiences to be lived 🤪. Your month of April will be filled with surprises and encounters thanks to this challenge. You'll see, after your achievement, plenty of festivities await you… 🍻
If you miss the camping holiday vibe 🏕️ and the barbecue isn't enough for you, we have the solution! 😇 During your registration, you can reserve a spot at the camping in the race village for the night before or on the same night of your feat 💪. By staying on site, you can wake up in the race atmosphere ⏰, warm up with your teammates 🫂 (or rivals, depending on your state of mind) and eat with music 🎶. We're agreed, it's tempting! But one thing is still bothering you 😰, you might be wondering "do I have what it takes?" 🫣. Fortunately (or unfortunately), at Finishers, we have an answer to all problems 😈. The time limits are very wide, you have an average of 2 hours to cover 10 km, which means that in case of difficulty, you can walk and admire the scenery! 🤩 Even in hiking mode 🥾 and selfie breaks 📸, you can finish it without issues. There, we've done it, you are convinced! 😌
The region is too beautiful for you to make a simple round trip ⏮️. Feel free to extend your stay and explore the surroundings 👁️. At 60 km from Haslemere, you can visit London 🎡 and its numerous historical monuments and lively neighborhoods 🎉. It would be a shame to miss the City 🏙️, Camden Town 🍸, or the famous Buckingham Palace 👑. If you prefer nature over the city, head to visit the natural park of Seven Sisters ⛰️, the Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve 🌱, or the Arundel Castle 🏰, 40 km from Haslemere. After such a program, nothing beats a comforting English Breakfast consisting of toast 🍞, eggs 🍳, and bacon 🥓 to recharge your batteries? 🔋
Imagine yourself running in the morning mist, the silence only broken by the sound of your steps and your breath 💨. Can you feel the magic already? Then don't wait: pull on your trail gear and come live a unique experience 😍.
You will go frolicking in the south of Haslemere! However, the exact routes are still being developed. You will have to wait a little longer before you can view the route! 😜
