We feel that the combination of the Beauty, the Terrain and the Environment make Ultra Trail - Grizedale a brilliant option for seasoned Ultra Trail veterans wanting to push their boundaries and those wanting to explore more demanding terrain and distances before moving into more committing environments. You can decide to run solo and rack up over 100km over the two days, or you can enter as a pair or a team and dial back the intesity - the choice is yours. Either way, the weekend will be epic and you'll take away memories to last for quite some time. Understanding Technical* Terrain Technical running terrain includes rugged and uneven surfaces that demands skill, agility, and constant focus from the runner. It includes obstacles like rocks, roots, and streams, and features steep, challenging climbs and descents. Running on this terrain requires precise foot placement, quick reactions, and a higher degree of mental concentration to navigate safely and efficiently.
