Ely Tri Club Runfest
Ely Tri Club Runfest is scheduled for Sunday 18 October 2026. The event began as an ultra distance and in 2014 added shorter options. Participants can choose from a range of distances covering recreational and long-distance formats.
The courses are described as almost completely flat and traffic free. Routes are well marked and organisers provide food and drink and on-course support. The surfaces include a few obstacles such as steps, stiles and cattle grids, which can affect pacing and require care underfoot. Detailed course maps are available for each route.
Age restrictions apply: participants must be at least 18 years old on the day of the race, and the 66 km ultra requires a minimum age of 20.
Distances offered
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- 66 km Ultra
The event information highlights a mix of adventure and endurance elements rather than a course designed specifically for chasing personal best times. The combination of largely flat, traffic free sections and occasional obstacles sets expectations for varied terrain and logistical support along the routes.
