The Druid's Challenge 2026

The Druid's Challenge is a 136 km trail race starting at Tring Rugby Club in Tring, Hertfordshire, England. Held in early November, it takes runners into a forest with 2,203 metres of elevation gain over the full distance. The race holds UTMB Index status, counting towards UTMB-linked event qualifications. The start and finish are located at Tring Rugby Club on Cow Lane, maintaining a single, practical base for the event instead of a point-to-point course. XNRG Druids organizes the race, offering a long, hilly trail run for ultrarunners seeking woodland trails, consistent climbing, and an official 136 km result.
