Ultra Marathons in Oxfordshire, in context

Ultra marathons make up most of Oxfordshire's racing on Verus — 4 of 8 races, or about 50%. If you run this distance, this is a well-served county.

The dates are spread across 4 months of the year, which gives real choice about when to peak rather than forcing a single date.

Of those that publish an elevation figure, the flattest is Race to the Stones at 4,429ft of climb and the hilliest Chiltern Wonderland 50 at 5,600ft — the same distance, but not the same afternoon.

If none of these fit, the counties where Verus covers the most racing overall are London (39), Hertfordshire (30) and Kent (26).
