A calm, supportive base for ultra weekend

The Wendover Woods 50 is a serious challenge — rolling trails, night running, and long hours on your feet. It deserves a weekend that’s planned, supportive, and steady.

This Race Home Weekend brings a small group of ultra runners together to stay under one roof, eat well, and share the experience around race day — from pre-race nerves to post-race recovery.

If you’re travelling solo, stepping up in distance, or simply want race weekend to feel less stressful and more grounded, Race Home gives you a place to settle in and focus on the run ahead.
