Welcome to The Elephant, Bear and Bull (EBB) 100.
The Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA) organise their ‘flagship’ 100 event each Spring Bank Holiday Weekend. This event is held in a different area each year and entails walking 100 miles in 48 hours. There will be about 500 people starting the event on 27th May and they will walk with only short breaks until they finish. The fastest will finish in about 24 hours and the slowest in 48 hours.
In 2023, its 50th outing sees the LDWA Hundred venture into new territory – the first time the annual flagship event has been hosted in central England (so central, in fact, that the route passes through Meriden, traditionally thought to mark the exact centre). Between them, two cities and two counties provide both the route of the Elephant, Bear and Bull 100 and its name: the historic symbols of Coventry, Warwickshire and Birmingham respectively. The symbol for the second county, Worcestershire, is a pear, which is represented by the shape of the logo. Combining urban and rural sections, the route showcases the best walking the West Midlands has to offer. We look forward to welcoming entrants to our area.
