Maidenhead to Henley 50k circular ultra marathon

I've run this route a few times and it's a good mix of all the experiences a runner is likely to face. It's got road, trails and gravel. There are hills, flats, fields, streets, bridges, gates and a few ice cream stops. It's easy to navigate, can be run in either direction and you're never all that far from an Uber should things go awry or if you fancy an early finish.

The Maidenhead to Henley 50k circular ultra marathon

The route outline in 7 steps

  1. Starting from nearly anywhere in Maidenhead, run to the river Thames
  2. From there head North towards Cookham along the Thames Path
  3. Carry on West around to Henley-on-Thames continuing along the Thames Path
  4. Take a short stop at Henley for drinks and food
  5. Run up the big hill heading East out of Henley, then take a right (South) at the top and head down towards the A4 (there are plenty of routes if you plan ahead)
  6. Once on the A4, take a left (East) until you come back to Maidenhead
  7. Navigate yourself back to wherever you started
Copy the GPS file from Garmin and create your own route.
