Take on The Borders Ultra Challenge between 28 - 29 August 2027.

The Ultra Challenge is going to Scotland for the very first time! Starting from Berwick-Upon-Tweed, challengers will head north over the Scottish border. The 84km route means taking on not just one, but two marathons, all while experiencing the stunning views and dramatic scenery that only Scotland has to offer.

Sign up as an individual or as a team and get full support all the way, with plenty of food and drink and optional camping options and transfers. All routes are fully marked, and there'll be massage and medical care available and marshals walking the route with you. Finish with a great sense of achievement and a celebration!
