The MTC Bristol Severn

The MTC Bristol Severn

The MTC Bristol Severn is a point-to-point ultra marathon that covers a distance of 30 miles. The course is described as comparatively flat with only one minor hill, following a route that largely sticks to the Severn Path and the banks of the River Severn.

The race begins at Stonehouse and rejoins the Severn Path at Purton. The route passes through Sharpness and Newton before circumnavigating the Berkeley Power Station. Runners continue along the river through Oldbury-on-Severn, Oldbury Pill, and Littleton Pill. The final stretch takes participants under the M48 and M4 motorway bridges to reach the finish at the mouth of the Severn in Severn Beach.

Available distances:

• 30 miles

The event features two checkpoints during the race that provide vegan-friendly food and drink options, such as malt loaf, sandwiches, fruit, and squash. This is a cup-free event, meaning participants must bring their own reusable containers for hydration. Runners must maintain a minimum average speed of 4 mph to remain in the competition. All finishers receive a bespoke medal and a head visor. Trophy awards are presented to the first male and female finishers.

Mandatory equipment includes a backpack, a mobile phone, a basic first aid kit, and navigation tools such as a GPS device with the provided route file or printed maps. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
