The Testway Ultra from Linkenholt Activity Centre, Andover, with a choice of 40 or 50 miles, on Saturday 5 April 2025, is the next event in AND-OVER Trail Events' terrific trails portfolio that showcases the very best that Hampshire and Wiltshire offer to off-road running enthusiasts.

Mark O'Meara, Race Director of AND-OVER Trail Events, welcomes everyone to trail running as it should be with the simple mission: "To bring you great, tough and fun events that suit runners of all levels". As Mark says: "Remember, the feeling you get from a run is much better than the feeling you get from sitting around thinking about running!"

You don't have to wait long before your next opportunity to dip a toe into the trail ultra world. On Saturday 19 April, you are invited to let the wheel decide your fate in Running Roulette at Linkenholt. There are three colour-coded routes of 5-10-15 miles, and a spin of the running roulette wheel decides which colour markers you follow. The catch is you don't know which colour leads to which distance! After completing your lap, you can spin again, and so on, with a cut-off time of eight hours to complete a maximum of 30 miles.
