Rat Race 100 — Bamburgh to Edinburgh

Rat Race 100 — Bamburgh to Edinburgh is a fully supported 100-mile ultramarathon designed for walkers and runners who want a finish-focused, inclusive experience. The organiser, Rat Race Events, describes the route as waymarked with extensive pit-stop support, sleep stations and multiple drop-bag options to aid self-sufficient participants. The event emphasises accessibility over podiums, offering instalment payments, transfer windows and a charity fundraising refund option for participants who meet the stated target.

The start is at Bamburgh (registration at Bamburgh Pavilion, NE69 7DB) and the finish is in central Edinburgh at Princes Street Gardens near Edinburgh Castle, with scheduled transport options after the event. Participants are required to carry mandatory kit and may have kit checked at registration and on-route; the organiser stresses safety, contingency routing and clear communication of any changes. Pit stops, sleep stations and bag-drop facilities are provided and the route is staged to a steady moving pace with published guide times for each pit stop.
