Butcombe Trail Ultra

The Butcombe Trail Ultra is a challenging running event featuring 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, showcases stunning landscapes and includes a unique 47-mile trail that connects six local pubs.

The races are designed to be inclusive, with opportunities for participants facing financial challenges. Both distances serve as qualifying events for the UTMB® series, ensuring a high standard of competition and support for all runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
