The Chiltern Ridge Classic 50K is considered to be a challenging run on undulating/hilly terrain. That being said, during previous editions of the race we have seen many runners complete this as their first ultra, well within the cutoff time. Overall drop-out rates are very low and providing you adopt an intelligent strategy, such as a walk/run approach, we are confident all runners can complete this course within the 9-hour cutoff time.
We recommend using our coach transfer to the start, or back to Berkhamsted after the race. This can be booked during registration, or at a later date.
