The Cotswolds Way Ultra – 57 miles in 2 days
Fiona took part in the two-day, 57 mile ultra in the Cotswolds, finishing in an incredible 17:20:56. Hugely well done Fi!

The Cotswold Way Ultra takes in 57 miles of quintessentially English Countryside, passing through rolling farmland and ancient beech woods, and taking in a rich slice of British history from Bronze Age barrows to Neolithic burial grounds and Stone Age hill forts. But don’t be fooled by the Cotswolds’ reputation for gentle contours: this route takes in 2750m of vertical ascent over two days (1140m over 27 miles on Day One and 1610m over 30 miles on Day Two), making it a great training weekend for anyone preparing for the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc or the Marathon des Sables.
The Cotswold Way National Trail runs from Chipping Campden in the north, to Bath in the south.
