The Ultra Loop - October is an 8-hour ultramarathon held in Delamere Forest, Cheshire, with its start and finish in Frodsham. Rather than a set distance, participants run a forest loop of approximately 6 km repeatedly for as long as they choose or are able within the 8-hour time frame; there is no upper limit on distance covered during these 8 hours.
The course features varied terrain, including gravel paths, light trails, undulating sections, and winding woodland tracks. Trail shoes are advised. This format is suitable for runners targeting a substantial ultra distance, individuals challenging themselves over multiple loops, and anyone seeking a flexible event where finishing early is still recognized: every runner receives a finish time and medal, regardless of the number of loops completed.
