About UTBC Marathon
The UTBC Marathon takes runners across the Shropshire Hills on a 26.2-mile trail circuit based in Bishop's Castle. Starting and finishing in the historic market town, the route weaves through two national nature reserves—Nipstone and Stiperstones—before tackling the Long Mynd. Sections of the established Shropshire Way are incorporated, though the course also draws on local footpaths and smaller trails to create a varied terrain of paths, tracks and demanding hill sections.
This is a navigational event, so route finding forms part of the challenge alongside the physical demands of significant climbs and mixed ground. The hilly landscape rewards effort with panoramic views across the countryside. The combination of self-navigation, varied surfaces and sustained elevation makes this marathon suited to trail runners seeking a more adventurous experience. The race takes place on 26 September 2026.
