Route information
50k Ultra
Distance: 50k Terrain: Paths / muddy Elevation: 514m ascent / descent
The Epping Forest 50k will take you on a hilly out and back route from East London, starting in Wanstead Flats, opposite the Golden Fleece Pub. You will travel through fantastic parks all the way to Epping Forest. This race is in autumn so expect the wet weather and muddy terrain.
EcoTrail 25
Distance: 25k
Terrain: Paths / muddy
The 25k event starts at the top of Epping Forest, near Epping Foresters Cricket Club. The route is south to Wanstead Flats, finishing opposite the Golden Fleece pub. The 25k is the second half of the 50k route (which is an "out and back"). The two races, the 25k and the Ultra, therefore merge together, providing endless amounts of forest trail camaraderie amongst the runners.
