Next edition
This is the most relevant confirmed edition currently held for the permanent race family. Edition-specific facts should still be checked against the final organiser instructions.
Expand an edition to inspect its year-specific facts. Other years never replace the primary edition facts.
These facts belong to the 2026 edition only. Missing values have not been copied from another year.
The official manual and results verify the completed 9–11 May 2026 race, 102-mile checkpoint total, seven checkpoints, self-navigation and a hard 50-hour limit. The 100-mile brand and 102-mile route conflict are both retained; price and ascent remain unknown.

Very hard
Moderate evidence confidence · 74% evidence coverage
This score is driven most by substantial race distance, high climbing demand, exposure and self-sufficiency. Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.00 points here and is capped at 0.70; a broad limit cannot erase extreme intrinsic demand. This is independent of the public Cutoff Pressure V2 band.
Course analysis
Expect sustained upland ground and meaningful climbing.
Climbing density
33.1m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
To finish inside 50h, the raw average required is 18:38 per kilometre (30:00 per mile), including every stop.
Cutoff pressure compares the published time limit with distance, ascent and verified course demands. Lower pressure does not mean the race is easy. Raw pace includes checkpoints, food stops, navigation errors and any sleep; it is not a pacing plan.
Who this suits
There is not enough verified information to assess first-ultra suitability yet.
Navigation
Route-finding is part of the challenge. Carry the required mapping tools and be able to use them in darkness and poor visibility.
Exposure & kit
Significant overnight running is likely for many entrants. Lighting, temperature management and sleep strategy can materially affect the outcome.
Personal race predictor
Use a previous result to estimate a realistic range for Epona 100 Mile, your potential buffer and the biggest change in demand.
Practical detail
Logistics are only shown where currently recorded. Confirm parking, transport, crew access and final aid-station plans with the organiser.
Latest verification
The 2027 heading and schedule verify 8–10 May, 100 miles, 17,500ft, seven aid stations, 50 hours and the current £225 tier. A stale sentence on the same page says May 9th 2026, so the edition is retained with Medium confidence and the mixed-year conflict explicit.
Elevation is approximate or awaiting final confirmation.
Event details can change after a successful source check. Confirm the final route, kit, cutoff, price and entry terms directly with the organiser before entering or travelling.
