      About this trip

      Take on the Ultra X Challenge and raise funds for Street Child: 


      Ultra X England takes place in the Peak District, the UK’s first National Park. Located at the southern edge of the Pennines, the Peak District National Park is an upland area characterised by vast green landscapes, rounded hills, plateaus, valleys, limestone gorges and gritstone escarpments.

      There are two races: Ultra X 110 England and Ultra X 50 England. Ultra X 110 England is a two-stage race that covers 61km on the Saturday and then 50km on the Sunday. Ultra X 50 England is a single-stage race that uses the same 50km course as the 110 event but starts 2hrs later on the Sunday.

      The course consists of two loops (one each day), starting and finishing in the beautiful village of Edale, set on the Pennine Way. Each loop takes participants through the surrounding hills and valleys past well know peaks such as Kinder Scout and Mam Tor.

      There are checkpoints stationed approximately 10km apart where competitors can access water, snacks, shelter, and if necessary, medical support.

      Competitors will be able to camp at Race HQ at Newfold Farm in Edale on Friday and Saturday nights, where they will have access to therapist treatment, medical care and hot water. If competitors would like to camp on Sunday night after the race they are welcome to do so.

      The event is held under UK Athletics rules.

      A very intensive trip: A deep dive into Street Child's work in Sierra Leone, insights into local culture and meeting local people, an inspiring group of international charity runners, a vibrant (and hot) race day, complemented by a relaxing day in a nice beach resort - and all of this perfectly organized by a highly engaged Street Child team!

      Had to most incredible experience! First time travelling by myself outside of Europe. Met so many like minded people, it was an unforgettable experience and learnt so much! Amazing and friendly staff that made you feel safe!

      I participated in the cycling challenge of the SL Street Child Marathon Event 2024 and had a great time. It was a beautiful route and a great opportunity to participate in the event by bike. However, the initial announcement that we will ride in a group together was not realised unfortunately. We were rather scattered in small groups. I would have preferred to actually ride in a group for more team spirit, joy, and safety. All in all, thanks for the great experience. I will sign up again and look forward to meeting new biking buddies :).

      I had the most wonderful time in Makeni and Tokeh with Street Child as part of the 2024 Challenge. Everyone at Street Child is so knowledgeable about the culture and area it immediately puts you at ease. They plan wonderful trips (and of course the amazing cycle/run challenges) in difficult environments so that you get maximum exposure to the people and cutlure of Sierra Leone and see what the charity does. The whole team are full of enthusiasm and a can do attitude, wanting you to share their love of the country with them. Each of the inevitable 'curveballs' were dealt with by the team with grace, knowledge and a smile, turning any issue into an adventure that is quickly put back on track! I would highly recommend travelling with the Street Child crew at any time!
