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, making it a unique 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, having previously raised significant funds for local conservation efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
