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 near the iconic Tor. It offers two distances: a 30-mile and a 50-mile race, both following historic trails including the Leland Trail and parts of 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—making it relatively fast compared to other ultras.

Runners experience charming villages, panoramic views, and a unique finish with potential festivities atop Glastonbury Tor. Aid stations provide refreshments, and the race emphasizes respect for local communities and environmental care. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
