Route, support and rules
The route follows sections of the Severn Path, reaching the river at Purton, briefly leaving at Sharpness and Newton, then circumnavigating Berkeley Power Station before returning to the river through Oldbury-on-Severn, Oldbury Pill and Littleton Pill. The course passes beneath the M48 and M4 motorway bridges. Navigation can be unpredictable in places; GPX files and maps are provided and their use is recommended. The event has two checkpoints that provide food and drink and are labelled as vegan friendly. Example food items include malt loaf, jam or peanut butter sandwiches, nuts, fruit, squash, cola and water. All events are cup free; competitors should bring a reusable cup.
Competitors must be 18 or over, carry mandatory kit (backpack, downloaded maps or GPS device with the GPX route, mobile phone, basic first aid kit) and be self-sufficient for travel to the start and from the finish. Entrants must maintain a minimum average speed of 4 mph or may be removed from the race. Entry fee for standard solo entry is £80 and all fees are non refundable. All finishers receive a bespoke Bristol Severn Ultra medal and a Mount to Coast head-visor. The first male and female finishers receive bespoke trophies.
