Welcome

Welcome to the official website of Britain's longest, toughest, non-stop running race. The Grand Union Canal Race (GUCR) is run from the centre of Birmingham to the centre of London along the Grand Union Canal. Competitors are required to complete the 145 mile distance within the time limit of 45 hours.

This website should provide you with all the information you require on the race including entry details, results, route details, stories and advice from previous competitors, photos and much more.

Anthony Taylor tells me that there are still places available for the third Thames Ring 250 on 3rd July. You should all be nicely recovered from GUCR by then. Contact a.j.taylor@talktalk.net if you're game.
