The British Ultra Fest is a multiday race scheduled to take place between August 11th and August 17th 2013. It will feature 24 and 48 hour races and all three events will finish on the 17th.

The event will take place at Radley College near Abingdon on a 400 m all weather track. It is being organised by a team headed by Pam Storey, the race director of the Crawley 6 & 12 hour races.

This will be the first 6 day race to take place in the UK since 1990 when James Zarei ran 622 miles at the renamed Gateshead International Stadium - one mile short of the British record.

That British record was set in 1888 when George Littlewood finished with 623 miles 1,320 yards at Madison Square Garden in New York.
