Complete directory

All remaining records

The detailed cards above prioritise the next records in this collection. Every other permanent race route remains available here and through the full Explorer.

What is included?

This page includes 123 current discoverable race records matching the stated geography or distance definition: 123 fixed-distance and 0 format-defined. Cross-border families appear only once under their permanent identity.

How are facts checked?

Edition facts retain official-source URLs and a last-checked date. Unknown distance, ascent, cutoff or price is shown as unknown instead of being inferred from another year.

What can you compare here?

As of 7 Nov 2026, this collection has 123 selected fixed-distance race families: 123 with a confirmed start today or later and 0 without a confirmed future start in the selected record. There are also 0 current format-defined families, kept separate from fixed-distance comparisons. These counts describe this directory, not the whole market or places available.

Navigation options

fully marked: 45 of 123
partially marked: 17 of 123
self-navigation: 41 of 123
GPS required: 2 of 123
Navigation not recorded: 18 of 123

One recorded navigation mode per selected fixed-distance edition with a confirmed future start. Use the race record to check the organiser's requirements.

Course and format choices

4 of 123 are recorded as multi-stage; 119 use other fixed-distance formats. Recorded ascent is available for 83, and an overall cutoff or explicit no-fixed-limit statement for 88.

Most frequent recorded terrain labels: trail (122), mixed (98), moorland (40). Labels can overlap on the same course.

The denominator is the same 123 confirmed future starts. Terrain labels do not establish elevation, difficulty or an exact surface percentage.

Two navigation choices in this collection

These are the earliest confirmed future starts with two different recorded navigation modes, ordered by date then permanent identity. They show a choice to investigate, not a recommended order or a first-race suitability verdict.

Official event information

Compare navigation separately from ascent, surface and the overall time limit. A marked course still has organiser instructions to follow; a longer cutoff does not supply the skills needed for a self-navigated route.

What belongs in the 50-mile collection?

The directory's 50 mile distance band covers 65km up to, but not including, 92km. This is a collection range, not a claim that every race measures exactly 50 mile. Each record retains its own known course distance.

Look at navigation, support and possible night exposure as well as total climbing. More time on the course does not automatically mean a more generous practical allowance: the recorded cutoff and course demands need to be considered together.

Use Compare races to look at the same facts side by side. The methodology explains how course assessments and cutoff pressure differ from a personal finish estimate.
