Questions about 50k events in Europe
What should I check before a running event in Europe?
Choose your distance, then check the route, elevation, cut-off time and entry conditions in the organiser’s race guide.
Which trail 50k events are coming up in Europe?
Puglia by UTMB is listed for 25 October 2026. Black Beacon Mountain Races is listed for 31 October 2026 (status to be confirmed). Ultra Trail Kempen is listed for 31 October 2026. Check the race guide and organiser’s latest information before making plans.
Where can I find race entry details for Europe?
Follow the link from the race guide to the organiser or entry provider, where one is available. Check the entry deadline, eligibility and current availability there. A listed race date does not necessarily mean entries are still open.
