High input evidence · 88% evidence coverage
The main recorded demands are balanced overall demands. Course difficulty and cutoff pressure describe different challenges: more approachable terrain can still require a demanding pace to beat the deadline. Neither score assesses your personal fitness, safety or readiness.
Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.35 points here and is capped at 0.70; a broad limit cannot erase extreme intrinsic demand. This is independent of the public Cutoff Pressure V2 band. Evidence coverage describes the recorded inputs, not prediction accuracy or your likelihood of finishing.
The retrieved organiser page records 15 November 2026, 50km, 1,145m ascent and a 9-hour limit. Both route options share the £69 fee after the early-bird period, plus an online entry fee whose amount is not established here. Equal recorded fees do not produce a unique cheapest race. The cached page’s August entry-opening announcement is not a new opening observed on this review date.
Course analysis
Expect forest trail that may change character in wet conditions, largely runnable, non-technical surfaces.
Climbing density
22.9m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
To finish inside 9h, the raw average required is 10:48 per kilometre (17:22 per mile), including every stop.
Cutoff pressure compares the published time limit with distance, ascent and verified course demands. Lower pressure does not mean the race is easy. Raw pace includes checkpoints, food stops, navigation errors and any sleep; it is not a pacing plan.
Who this suits
One of the more approachable options in its distance bracket, provided you prepare for the full distance and practise the required kit and pacing.
7/10 suitability
Navigation
The route is described as marked, but runners should still read the final race instructions.
Exposure & kit
Night running is not expected for most entrants based on the current format, but final kit rules still take priority.
Personal race predictor
Use a previous result to estimate a realistic range for Tweed Valley Ultra 50K, your potential buffer and the biggest change in demand.
Practical detail
Logistics are only shown where currently recorded. Confirm parking, transport, crew access and final aid-station plans with the organiser.
Latest verification
Field-scoped check 2026-10-18: 2026-11-15; 50 km; 1,145 m. Forest tracks, shared paths, minor road and open moor. Fully marked; GPX backup recommended. Cutoff: 9 hours. Eligibility: No previous ultra required; minimum age 20. Published entry deadline: 9 November 2026. The organiser does not give a closing time. £69 plus online booking fee. The 50K facts are checked separately; conflicting 65K/67K copy elsewhere on the event page is not used here. Other edition facts retain their earlier evidence.
Event details can change after a successful source check. Confirm the final route, kit, cutoff, price and entry terms directly with the organiser before entering or travelling.
