Thames Trail Ultra Marathon - THIS WEEKEND in HENLEY-ON-THAMES!

A 47-MILE POINT-TO-POINT ALONG ENGLAND’S LONGEST RIVER

“Amazingly well-organised, a beautiful course and outstanding volunteers”, this demanding run along the Thames is one of the most popular events in the British Ultra Running calendar.

Previously known as the Thames Trot, the event takes in 47-miles from Iffley in Oxfordshire to Henley-on-Thames.

Go Beyond Challenge runners will enjoy the company of England’s largest river as it makes its way past ever-changing scenery, beautiful houses and traditional rowing clubs. Expect everything from tarmac paths to muddy trails on this interesting and challenging course.

The run follows both the Thames Path and Ridgeway National Trails, so entrants should be careful not to forget the words ‘National Trail’ rather than simply reading Thames Path.

Starting around three miles south of Oxford, the race heads from Hawkwell House Hotel down to Iffley Lock and across the river. It then follows the towpath through the picturesque towns and villages of the region to Henley-on-Thames.


Henley YMCA will be a new race finish for 2024! The runners will finish at the YMCA Pavilion, in Lawson Road, Henley-on-Thames. This will mean runners will be able to access, hot food and drinks, and changing facilities at the end of the race.

We are proud to host this race, that is an acclaimed Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc index race.

Calling the Henley Community! 🌟 To make sure our parking spaces are available for those actually using our facilities, we’ve introduced new parking cameras and a couple of quick steps. But no worries - parking is STILL FREE for everyone attending our community sessions or hiring our pavilion! 🙌

Here’s what you need to do: 1️⃣ Hirers & Participants: Scan the QR code provided by your session leader, OR 2️⃣ Input your car reg into the tablet located inside the Pavilion or at the Main office.

⚠️ Important: If you don’t register your vehicle, you will receive a fine, so please remember to check in when you arrive! ⚠️

This change is all about keeping our parking spaces FREE for those who need them most—you! Let’s keep things running smoothly so you can enjoy your class, event, or hire without any hassle. 💪
