About
The Malvern Hills Ultra takes place on 1 May 2027 from Holt Heath, England, with four trail races and staggered starts: the 47 Mile Ultra (75.6 km) with 2,900 m of elevation gain at 07:00, the 38 Mile Ultra (61.1 km) at 08:30, the 31 Mile Ultra (49.9 km) at 09:30 and the 23 Mile (37 km) at 11:00.
Elevation gain is only published for the longest route, where close to 2,900 m of climbing over 75.6 km makes for a hilly, leg-sapping day. The intermediate distances offer a logical progression from one year to the next.
