Eden Valley Ultra Trail 2026

Kent woods define this race: trail running focused on nature and forest, not road pace. It is a compact ultra field, designed for runners who understand steady pacing is more important than early aggression. The 2026 edition is listed on the UTMB® Index Races calendar as a serious challenge, not just a casual run for a medal. The course profile includes 770m of climbing across trail terrain, featuring runnable sections interspersed with climbs that demand effort. The participants are primarily ultra runners, those who check elevation gain before T-shirt details, lending the start line a practical atmosphere. The appeal is straightforward: a forest-rich ultra with sufficient difficulty, distinct from a large-scale event.
