The MTC Bristol Severn
The MTC Bristol Severn is a 30 mile point-to-point ultramarathon following much of the Severn Path between Stonehouse and Severn Beach. The route passes Purton, Sharpness, Newton and circumnavigates Berkeley Power Station before returning to the river through Oldbury-on-Severn, Oldbury Pill and Littleton Pill, and passes under the M48 and M4 motorway bridges before the finish at Severn Beach.
The event is a single-day race with two manned checkpoints providing food and drink. The race is cup free; competitors should bring a reusable cup. The organiser lists example checkpoint items such as malt loaf, jam or peanut butter sandwiches, nuts, fruit, squash, cola and water and notes that offerings may change.
All finishers receive a bespoke Bristol Severn ultra medal and a Mount to Coast head visor. Mount to Coast is the event head sponsor; complimentary pairs of sponsor shoes are provided to the male and female winners in the year specified by the organiser.
Competitors must be 18 or over, self-sufficient for travel between start and finish, and must maintain an average speed of at least 4.0 mph or be withdrawn. Random kit checks are carried out; mandatory kit includes a backpack, the organiser’s maps or a GPS device with the event GPX, a mobile phone and a basic first aid kit. The course is not fully signed and the organiser recommends using GPX files for navigation. Ascent is listed as 186 metres and descent as 196 metres. UTMB points are to be announced.
