The Oxford Ultra

Race Overview:

Oxford Ultra competitors must arrive for registration and equipment checks between 7.00am and 7.30 am.

Race start will be 8.00 am, following a race brief. The race starts from the Travelodge Oxford Abingdon Road, OX1 4XG.

From the Travelodge you reach the Thames Path after 0.5 miles at Donnington Rd Bridge then continue right with the river on your left. Soon you reach the spectacular Sandford Weir and then Culham and Cholsey.

A departure from the river bank brings us through Moulsford, but soon returns, going past Streatley and Whitchurch-on-Thames. A short deviation through the town of Purley Park, past Tilehurst, Reading, finally arriving at the Catherine Wheel, J.D. Wetherspoons, which is the finish of day two for Thames Challenge competitors, or the conclusion of The Oxford Ultra.
