Avebury ultramarathon challenge open to all

Ultramarathons are in the news as only last week former Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing completed his epic Ultra Marathon Man Challenge for Comic Relief, running five ultramarathons in as many days in spite of never having run further than 25km before. 
Many people have been inspired by his tenacity and might be looking to take on a similar challenge themselves - and now they are invited to follow in his footsteps.
Race To The Stones takes place on 12 and 13 July, and is the UK’s biggest ultramarathon. It is back for its 12th year, 50km and non-stop 100km routes available. 
This year, the Threshold Trail Series, organisers of Race to the Stones, is on a mission to excite, empower, and engage people who have never taken part in an ultra before to join their events.
Threshold Sports welcomes people to take part in their events as walkers, hikers, joggers, or runners. They provide dedicated training plans for walkers created by experienced ultramarathoner Claire Maxsted for their 50k and 100k distances, and make training as accessible and flexible as possible. 
Their events cater for all abilities by offering walker-friendly cut-off times and providing fully operational and stocked aid stations every 10k-15k for the duration of the event.
Penny Welch, CCO at Threshold Sports said: “Our aim is for walkers, joggers and runners alike to cross the finish line, as the sense of achievement can be truly life changing. 
"Our walker-friendly cut-off times, walking training plans and fully serviced aid stations all help first-timers tackle an ultra. We’re committed to championing this important topic, empowering even more people to take on greater distances so they too can realise the physical and mental health benefits of trail events.”
