National Forest Way Ultra 75 is a 75-mile trail ultramarathon organised by Beacon Race Events, taking place in June 2026. It’s the inaugural ultra running event on the National Forest Way, traversing the wild landscapes of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire from the National Memorial Arboretum to Beacon Hill Country Park across ancient trails, woodlands and farmland. The race is fully supported with checkpoints, aid stations, and emergency coverage, and finishing first earns the runner the honour of lighting the event beacon. Participants must be at least 20 years old and have previously completed a marathon-distance race.
