Mendip Marauder : 8 August 2026
Mendip Marauder offers two waymarked trail ultras across the Mendip Way with a coastal finish at Uphill Sands Beach, Weston-Super-Mare. The event is run on the Mendip Way routes: the 30 Miler follows the West Mendip Way and the 50 Miler follows the East Mendip Way before joining the 30 mile route. Both routes include woods, lanes, open fields, hilltops with panoramic views and a finish at the sea.
Distances:
- 30 Miler - West Mendip Way, 4,161 ft elevation, 3 aid stations
- 50 Miler - Full Mendip Way, 5,516 ft elevation, 5 aid stations
Aid stations supply water, coke, squash, sandwiches, crisps, fruit, nuts, sweets and other snacks. This is a cupless race so runners must carry bottles and a cup if required. Cut off times are 8 hours for the 30 Miler (not strictly enforced) and 14 hours for the 50 Miler (strictly enforced). Professional medics cover the race. Small drop bags to the finish are allowed with size restrictions and tags.
Start locations are in Frome for the 50 Miler and Wells for the 30 Miler. Practical details such as a GPX file, written notes, suggested meeting points for crews, and coach transport from the finish to registration will be provided in the race information sent to entrants. Trophies are awarded to first male and first female finishers and all finishers receive a medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
