In 2026, we’re following the journeys of eight individuals as they train and prepare for Race to the Stones, a point-to-point ultramarathon along the UK’s oldest trail, the Ridgeway.
From seasoned ultra runners to first-time hikers, our 2026 Stones Legends embody the spirit of the Ridgeway. Hailing from all walks of life and drawing upon a wide variety of experiences, our Future Legends have one thing in common – the belief that everyone is capable of more than they realise.
Head to the link in our bio to read more.
Race to the Stones was a weekend to remember. Across 5000 years of history, the Ridgeway has witnessed countless journeys on foot. In 2025, we added another chapter to its story.
In blistering conditions, we witnessed a new course record in the men's 100k race with @hughsthatrunner running 7:41, whilst in the women's race ultra legend @ultra_sophie stormed to victory in a masterful display of patience and endurance. But their stories are only the tip of the iceberg.
Whether you ran, jogged, or walked, and however your journey panned out, we salute the Race to the Stones class of 2025 for taking on the challenge.

Can you believe it's been a whole seven days since Race to the King 2025?
Across a scorching weekend, we welcomed hundreds of first-time ultrarunners and veterans alike, to conquer 50k or 100k in the heart of South Downs National Park. Well done to each and every one of you, however your day panned out.

✨ Introducing our 2026 Community Partners ✨
We’re proud to announce our 2026 Community Partners across Threshold Trail Series & Endure24! 🙌
We’re committed to creating events where everyone feels welcome, supported, and able to take part. Partnering with these inspiring communities and groups helps us make events more inclusive, accessible, and safe for all 💚
We recently collaborated with our community partners for a short run finishing at the top of Primrose Hill in London. Afterwards, we collaborated to create fresh, inspiring quotes that you’ll see on our event route signage this summer!
Special thanks to our Partners HIGH5, P20, Tenzing and Profeet for supplying the goods to our community members on the day.
😎 Partnership Announcement
We’re excited to welcome @p20_uk as our Official Suncare Partner.
P20 will support our flagship events, Endure24 and the Threshold Trail Series, for those who prepare for long hours outside, across a full day and night, from 24 hours of solo or team laps to long miles and open trails.
Whether it’s settling into the rhythm of lap after lap at Endure24 or covering 100k on the Ridgeway at Race to the Stones, our events are about sustained effort, changing conditions, and serious time outdoors. Sun protection should work just as hard.
With P20 built for endurance, our community can stay focused on the challenge, not reapplying.
Welcome to the Threshold family, P20, we’re thrilled to have you on board!
Race to the King is just 50 days away! 👑
We’re counting down to an unforgettable day out on the trails - will you be joining us this summer?
Let us know which challenge you’re taking on in the comments below 👇
It started with a walk, now they’re taking on 100km 🏔️
We met up with @escapethecityhikingclub for a training hike across the Seven Sisters to talk community, connection and the lead up to Race to the Stones 100k.
For many, Race to the Stones will be their first ever ultra - and this 22km hike along the South Coast was part of their training journey; helping them build confidence, rack up the miles and get excited for what’s ahead ☀️
This and no trending audio 🤌
Hiking is a chance to connect with nature; take in the views and experience the beautiful landscapes we are lucky to have in the UK.
Join us this summer for an unforgettable journey – secure your spot and walk, run or jog an ultra.
We spent the weekend soaking up the South Coast, hiking 22km across the Seven Sisters with @escapethecityhikingclub as part of their build up to the 100k at Race to the Stones this summer ☀️
We’re proud to be partnering with this community and hope to encourage more young people to get outside, explore landscapes, and realise that taking on an ultra doesn’t have to mean running.
Ultras can be walked too and there is a whole community of hikers out on the route at Race to the Stones doing exactly that 🙌
We can’t wait to welcome this group, and many more hikers, to the Ridgeway soon.
When people hear the word ultramarathon, they often think it’s all about running. But every year at Race to the Stones and Race to the King, we are joined by hikers who show us that these journeys are about experiencing incredible landscapes at your own pace.
We’re all about celebrating hikers and shining a light on this community, and we’re so excited to be partnering with @escapethecityhikingclub 🧡
Escape the City is a free hiking community, bringing young people together in London and swapping the city streets for the countryside trails once a month. Their mission is to get outdoors and connect with one another.
This weekend, we were joined by Escape the City on the Seven Sisters as part of their training journey before they take on 100k at Race to the Stones. For most of the 40 hikers taking on Race to the Stones, this will be their first ultra, and we are delighted to be a part of this journey.
They also let us know that every single hike they’ve done so far has been blessed with good weather... let’s hope they bring the sunshine to The Ridgeway 🌞
We’re thrilled to be welcoming Escape the City into the ultramarathon world and to celebrate their mission. If you’ve ever thought about walking one of our ultras, this is your sign to do it.
Didn't you hear? We're working with @thresholdtrailseries over the next few months to get prepped for #racetothestones , a 2 day 100k Ultra Marathon. We will be entering a team of 40 people to tackle this 2 X 50km event over a weekend, with camping overnight, with some hiking, some running.
Threshold and @profeetcustom kindly invited us down to get some insoles and new shoes for the task ahead. Safe to say these guys know what they're doing. You're assigned a super professional fitter to help you dial in your insoles to match your hiking/walking/running technique, to best support how you move.
These guys aren't just great for trail shoes they stock a huge number of road runners, hiking boots and even do ski boot fitting!
We can't recommend these guys enough. They may just become our one stop shop for all hiking/trail shoes.

HISTORY IS WAITING

With the women’s 100k non‑stop course record still standing, last year’s prize has rolled over to £2,000. The men’s prize sits at £1,000, after Hugh Tibbs’ incredible 7:41:56 finish last year.
Think you can take on 100km and re-set the record books? Write your own piece of history and join us on the trails.
