The MTC Oxford Ultra 2026 is a 49-mile ultramarathon held on 7 August 2026. It forms Stage 2 of The Thames Challenge and follows the Thames Path from Travelodge Oxford Abingdon Road to Henley-on-Thames. The route passes Sandford Weir, Culham, Cholsey and other Thames-side towns, offering varied riverbank and countryside terrain. It is intended for experienced runners and forms part of a continuous multi-day challenge.
On race day competitors register between 07:00 and 07:30 with a prompt start at 08:00. There are three manned checkpoints providing water and limited nutrition but the event operates a cup-free policy so entrants must carry a reusable cup. The organiser, Ultra Running Ltd, requires a mandatory kit list including a head torch, map or GPS, whistle and basic first aid, and places navigational responsibility with the competitor. All finishers receive a bespoke finisher's medal and top finishers are awarded trophies.
