- Entry list for 100k race
- Entry list for 50k race
- Open 100km/50k ultra distance road races.
- The 100k race incorporates the annual Anglo Celtic Plate home countries event, as well as the Scottish 100km road championship for 2022. It will also be the British 100km championship for 2022 and a key trail race for GB selection for the IAU world Championships in Berlin in August,.
- The 50km race incorporates the Scottish 50km championship for 2022.
- Despite attracting some of the countries leading ultra runners, the event also attracts runners of all standards just keen to challenge themselves over one of the classic ultra distances.
- The 100km is, to our knowledge, the only certified accurate 100km road event in Great Britain in 2022. It is a perfect opportunity for experienced ultra runners and marathoners to challenge themselves over the internationally recognised distance of 100km. It is also an ideal event if you are aiming for a longer 100mile ultra later in the summer.
- The 50km (31.1 miles) is to our knowledge, one of only three accurate 50km road events in Great Britain in 2022. It is an ideal test for anyone wanting to attempt their first ultra, and is also a perfect distance for an honest test if preparing for a longer ultra event in the summer.

HISTORY OF THE ANGLO CELTIC PLATE 100K EVENT
A full list of all time results for the Anglo-Celtic plate up to 2018 can be found here...
The Anglo Celtic Plate 100km race (ACP) was the brain child of John Foden, the same man who had the idea for a little event in Greece called the Spartathlon!
He had established a 100km road event in 1993 utilising the traffic free paths of Holme Pierrepoint Park, where the National Watersport centre had been created just outside Nottingham. His aim was to create a platform whereby every year, the British Isles had an event where promising ultra-runners had the opportunity to represent their own country, while also bringing together some of current best ultra runners to race against other.
In this way standards would be raised, and it would act as a stepping stone for runners seeking to make the Great Britain or Irish republic teams for the annual major IAU world events. It would also give runners an opportunity for “mere mortals” to challenge themselves over the classic 100k distance, without having to travel to Europe where 100km races at the time, and still are, more plentiful.
The event has circulated, by and large, on a four year cycle around the British Isles. Although compared with some of the current growth in numbers in trail events, fields are small, it has over the years provided some outstanding performances from current leading runners.
In recent years there has been in most venues an accompanying 50km event for aspiring ultra runners to take their first steps beyond the marathon, or for experienced ultra-runners to have a well organised race as a stepping stone to an upcoming longer ultra event.
The ACP has certainly achieved its aim of acting as a platform for emerging talent and some of our current leading ultra-runners who have gone on to acquit themselves well in global international competition include England’s Jez Bragg, Steve Way and Lizzy Hawker, Ireland’s Eion Keith and Dan Doherty, Scotland’s Simon Pride, William Sichel, Rob Turner and Emily Gelder and John Pares from Wales have all gained their first taste of international ultra competition in the Anglo Celtic Plate.
