This will be Camino's third official edition of their London Ultra 50KM. 

The group is made up of London-based ultramarathon runners and coaches. 

Camino founders have been running ultramarathons around the globe for over a decade, but they also appreciate how important it is to look for locally-based events.

A spokesperson for Camino Ultra said: "The course is fast and should be a great opportunity for those looking for their first “runnable” Ultra.

"All our events will provide nutritional food and drinks from our favourite partners. We have no permanent staff, and all our events are supported by a merry band of volunteers".
