The Kington Ultra is a mere 30ish mile mixed trail/field/road run. The route takes you through the Marches of England, with extensive forests, limestone tops and gentle pastures in an area dominated in mediaeval times by the Mortimer family, one of the most powerful Norman earldoms. It follows a succession of hills and ridges with some strenuous climbs, crossing the valleys of the rivers Arrow, Lugg and Teme, taking in the Wapley hill fort, Croft Ambrey, Orleton Common, the High Vinnals, and Mary Knoll Valley, whilst meandering through a number of villages. The Trail starts in Kington, Herefordshire but soon enters Shropshire and finishes in the grand entrance of one of the finest medieval castle ruins ruins in England, set in the glorious bustling market town of Ludlow.
The Croft Half is a 14ish mile short course version of the MMT Ultra. Taking in some of the Marches of England, it consists of mixed trail/field/road with extensive forests, limestone tops and gentle pastures in an area dominated in mediaeval times by the Mortimer family, one of the most powerful Norman earldoms. It follows a succession of hills and ridges with some strenuous climbs. The Trail starts in Aymestrey, Herefordshire but very quickly enters Shropshire and finishes in the grand entrance of one of the finest medieval castle ruins in England, set in the glorious bustling market town of Ludlow.
