ULTRA is the longest-running printed magazine in Europe dedicated to the sport of ultrarunning. Established in 2015, it has served the UK’s ultra community ever since, and ships worldwide.

Issue 14 is packed with stories of adventure, freedom, endurance and community. Tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, accompanied by beautiful imagery. We have some history, with Davy Crockett telling the fantastic (and surprisingly old) story of the development of the 50-mile race; we have an opinion piece from Andy Milroy, the founder of the International Association of Ultrarunners; and a great article about the sustainability of ultrarunning - what can we practically do better? We cover the psychological factors and influences of running ultras; we discuss the reality of failure; we talk with the Running Granny about how anything is possible even in your 60s or beyond; and we talk fighting cancer using ultrarunning with Kev Webber and our own Robin Bush.

For races we’re treated to views and stories from many, many mountains from Snowdonia to Lake District to the Iveragh Peninsula of Kerry, and then to the less lumpy but no less beautiful Stour Valley; plus the strange race set 100 years in the future that involved running through a busy Central London at 2am. Want to read about it? Buy it now! For assistance we have a great article about head torches - not recommendations, but how they work and what to look for (it’s not just about the lumens!) - and what Wainrights legend Paul Tierney carries in his backpack.

Created, printed and bound in the UK, and yours for less than £10 + P&P. We think it’s the best ultrarunning magazine in the world. Why not find out for yourself?
