Next edition - 30th May 2026

The Ridgeway Chase is a 60km point-to-point ultramarathon following the historic Ridgeway National Trail.

Starting at the iconic Ivinghoe Beacon, runners will journey along ancient trails and scenic ridgelines, across the Chilterns and North Wessex Downs. The route finishes at Ridgeway View Campsite, near Wallingford.

Taking place alongside the longer Ridgeway Challenge, the Ridgeway Chase offers a shorter, more accessible way to experience this iconic route — a perfect introduction to the full challenge.
