      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.

      Loved the experience! Great ambiance during the run. Can do bit better on set ups of start and finish points as that’s where people like to take pictures for memories.

      What an amazing experience. Street Child organized and excellent trip where we learnt about the work Street Child does in rural communities surround Makeni. We started by visiting a school to understand how Street Child is helping to support the school to make good education accessible for all. The second day was spent looking at the community work Street Child does, many children do not stay in education due to lack of funds and this is where Street Child helps by enabling the families to set up businesses. The third day was spent learning something of the culture and preparing for the Sierra Leone Marathon. The marathon felt all the more important due to the knowledge gained the previous days and it was once more excellently organized, with aid stations every 5k and people constantly biking up and down to check you were OK. it was such an opportunity to be able to see the communities Street Child work with and interact with the people while passing through the inspiring landscape. The medals are also worth the effort, having been handmade, mine with be treasured forever. The last few days was spent at Tokeh and this was pure luxury and a perfect place to recuperate after the marathon. This trip is a must, some parts are hard and make you think, but ultimately you learn and experience so much in a safe and well organized environment. Thank you Street Child

      The trip was epic. Very well organised and such a life changing experience. Thank you so much to everyone at Street child involved. I would urge anyone else thinking about this trip to book without even thinking about it, you will have a an amazing time.

      It has been a fantastic Adventure! The Street child staff were tremendous and accommodating. When i signed up it was mostly about the run and secondly about the charity, but seeing the work out there has brought it home how much a difference the money is making. Im a true convert to the cause. I will certainly be flying the Street Child flag from now on, and there will certainly be more adventures to be had with Street Child in the future. Many thanks to Mark and his team for an unforgettable experience.
