The Beyond London 55km Ultra takes you off the beaten track and onto London's Capital Ring — a footpath forming an inner circle around Greater London.

But it's not just the famous landmarks that make this route special.

Despite being in one of the world's busiest cities, you'll spend surprisingly little time alongside main roads and highways.

Along the way, you'll also catch views of the city skyline from an angle you probably haven't seen before.
Fully signed and supported throughout, the 25km route is a chance to get off the beaten track without ever feeling too far from the city.
