List of UK Ultra-Marathon Races in February

The UK’s winter ultra-marathon scene is where true grit is forged, transforming familiar trails into brutal tests of endurance. In February, the landscape shifts from the frozen, technical ridges of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Cairngorms to the saturated, wind-swept coastal paths of the South West and the notoriously boggy moorlands of the Peak District. Whether you are looking for a fully-marked winter challenge or a self-navigated expedition through the freezing mist of the Pennines, February offers a unique brand of psychological and physical intensity that summer races simply cannot replicate.

Navigating the winter calendar requires more than just a date and a distance, which is why we’ve built findtrail.co. Our platform provides a complete, data-driven database of ultra-marathons across Wales, with every race in England and Scotland being added throughout 2026. We break down the metrics that matter most for winter, like elevation per kilometer, terrain technicality, and historical difficulty scores, ensuring you have the most accurate insights for your next start line. We’ve built this race finder specifically for runners, providing an unfiltered look at what to expect when the weather turns.

Find The Perfect Ultra-Marathon Race in the UK and Beyond

Finding the perfect ultra shouldn't be harder than the race itself. Most race calendars only give you a date and a location and are built for race directors, not runners.

But as trail runners, we know that a "100km in May" could mean a flat canal path or a 6,000m mountain grind. That’s why we built the findtrail.co/race Race Finder, the UK’s most detailed database for endurance athletes looking for ultra-marathon races.

Use our filters to find exactly what you’re looking for:

  • By the Numbers: Filter by distance, total elevation, or "m/km" steepness.

  • By the Season: Find your perfect spring warm-up or a gritty winter expedition.

  • By the Map: Search every corner of Wales (complete database) and across England and Scotland (growing daily!).

  • By the Vibe: Toggle between fully-marked trail festivals and self-navigated mountain loops.
