What runners say about this guide
"I had no idea there were quality ultras with no cutoffs. This guide pointed me to an amazing event in Switzerland that fits my pace perfectly. Clear, useful and motivating."
Robin
“I'm a casual runner. I enjoy running but I never cared about performance. This guide showed me that some ultras are actually more like big outdoor gatherings than just races. I found one in Sweden where you sleep on the shore of a lake at night, and I really want to go!”
Asell

21 incredible ultra races in Europe that you can actually finish.
Have you ever wanted to run an ultra-trail, only to be discouraged by unforgiving time limits?You're not alone.I've met countless people who told me the same thing:“I can run 50 km, but not fast enough to make the cutoffs. I'd be disqualified.”Cutoffs exist for a reason: safety.But the truth is, not every race treats slower runners the same way.Luckily, there are a few events in Europe whose mission is to make trail running more accessible. So that even slower runners (and sometimes walkers) can feel the thrill of ultra racing.And these are not your average races either. These are well-organized events with stunning landscapes, great communities, and an atmosphere you’ll remember for years.Where passion transcends performance.I've handpicked 21 of them in Europe, each with practical information to help you get started.Are you ready to find the epic races that truly match your pace and dreams?
