This Sunday, March 23rd, six of the best ultra-marathon performers in the UK will battle it out in hopes of landing the 2025 Time TV Trophy at Towcester. On the line is a place in history but also an incredible £15,000.
The famous race has produced many memorable contests in it’s near 70 year history and we can’t wait for another. Mongys Wild and Ballymac Taylor top the betting but reigning champion Bubbly Inferno will also give her all as she pursues her own place in history by potentially becoming just the fifth dual winner of the TV Trophy.
Swift Delta and littermates Alright Gordy and Alright Patricia complete a top class line-up. WQho will join the Roll Of Honour? Find out on Sunday afternoon at Towcester, who will host the TV Trophy for the fourth time.
Why not take a walk down memory lane but looking through the many famous winners of this incredible race.
