Tittesworth Water 10k, 22k & 50k Ultra – Sunday 14th July 2024

Looking for a challenge? Join us for the return of the Tittesworth Water trail event on Sunday 14th July 2024. Choose between 10K, 22K and 50K ultra distance trail routes. All three routes are quite different to our regular RunThrough courses. They all include some steep climbs, fun descents and maybe even a stile or two! Whether you are running your first trail race or stepping up to the ultra distance for the first time, we have you covered.

All three routes start at the beautiful Tittesworth Reservoir and ascend Hen Cloud, offering stunning views of the reservoir and the surrounding countryside. After summiting, the 10K route then descends back to the reservoir, whereas the Half Marathon and 50K Ultra continue out across The Roaches and beyond. Full route descriptions for each distance can be found below.

The routes will be well flagged and we have plenty of helpers to encourage you on your way to the finish line. Both the Half Marathon and 50K routes will pass by aid stations to allow you to refuel and fill your water bottles. Included in your entry fee is a themed medal, water and post race goodies. Come and enjoy the day with us; we hope to see you there!

Additional Information

Due to the nature of this event it is going to be cup-less. This means that we WILL NOT be providing bottled water on course. We will have bottled water in our Event Village for pre race and also every finisher will receive a bottle of Water after they finish.

Instead, we will have Aid Stations on both the Half Marathon and 50K courses. At these Aid Stations we will provide basic food supplies and un-bottled water in jugs that our marshals can use to refill you water bottles/flasks. We recommend that all Half Marathon and 50K runners use a hand flask, running belt or vest with which to carry essential items, as well as food and water.

We have been extensively researching into what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the most important area. Click HERE to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.

T-Shirts at events have been a hot topic mainly around them not being a high enough quality to wear on a regular basis. So we have decided to tackle this by offering a T-Shirt with a retail value of £22 for £12 with the addition of the event logo printed on the chest. These are to be collected at the Kit Stall on the day.

We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to not only raise awareness about the quality of the product but also to counteract the increasing costs incurred in event production in the modern world.
