One More Lap for Kids' Village, our OG 12-hour, charity ultramarathon, is coming back to Lichfield in 2026. 300 runners, in 60 teams, will compete to complete as many laps of Stowe Pool as they can, from sunrise to sunset – all to raise money for Kids' Village.
Use your body & your brain
One More Lap will be a test of your mind as much as your body.
The course is short, open & pan-flat.
It will be windy.
It will be repetitive.
And every time you pass the entrance to camp, you’ll have a choice to make – will you quit & head back to the comfort of camp, or will you keep running & do One More Lap for Kids’ Village?

"Because ultrarunning events are so difficult simply to complete, it feels more like a 'We're all in this together' rather than 'Me vs. You'."
Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc winner — Katie Schide.
Fundraising Festival of Running
One More Lap's so much more than just another ultra though. It's a day-long fundraising festival of running.
Our Event Camps are filled with music & laughter, food & drink and buzzing with the energy of runners & your support crew cheering you on.
It’s guaranteed to be a day you’ll never forget. Promise.
Your Fundraising Commitment

Building the UK’s first respite holiday village just for children with critical illness.
Kids' Village will be the UK's first holiday village for sick children & their families.
Set in the beautiful Staffordshire countryside, just outside Lichfield, Kids’ Village will offer magical breaks, like no other. It will be a place for imagination, to enjoy nature and feel free from daily challenges of battling a serious illness.
We’re fundraising to help make these magical stays like no other, a reality.
