The Conquest of Avalon

The Conquest of Avalon is a scenic ultra running event held in Somerset, England, finishing in the legendary town of Glastonbury. It offers two distances: a 30-mile and a 50-mile race, both largely following the historic Leland Trail with the 30-miler diverting onto the Lands End Trail. The course features a mix of road and countryside, with moderate elevation gains—4,012 ft for the 50-miler and 2,794 ft for the 30-miler.

Runners experience charming villages, panoramic hilltop views, and a memorable climb over Glastonbury Tor near the finish. Aid stations provide refreshments, and the race is known for its fast times and vibrant atmosphere linked to Arthurian legend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
