Butcombe Trail Ultra

The Butcombe Trail Ultra features 50-mile and 50-kilometre self-navigation ultramarathons set in the scenic Mendip Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Organized by volunteers from Bristol's Town & Country Harriers, the event aims to benefit the Mendip Hills Fund. The route, primarily off-road, offers stunning views and passes by six pubs, enhancing the experience for participants.

The 2025 edition introduces a 50 km race alongside the traditional 50-mile race, both serving as qualifying events for the UTMB. The event emphasizes inclusivity and community support, with proceeds contributing to local conservation efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
