Calling ultra runners: Scotland 100k chance in Belfast next March

Thursday 22nd October 2026

Scotland at the 2026 ACP in Limerick

The 100k Anglo Celtic Plate competition for 2027 will be hosted by Northern Ireland and Ulster Ultra Running Association and held in East Belfast on Sunday 21 March.

The Victoria Park circuit is renowned for being flat, fast and spectator-friendly, making it an excellent venue for both experienced ultra runners chasing personal bests and those stepping up to a new distance.

Races at 100k, 50k and 100k relay will be part of the Annual Home Nations Team fixture in Belfast.

Scotland teams will compete and athletes who wish to be considered for selection are now being asked to declare an interest.
