The Summer GMU

The Summer GMU is an ultra-running event offering two race distances: 30 miles (The Green Boy) and 45 miles. Both races take place on the same course in Bristol’s Community Forest Path, running clockwise, with checkpoints providing food, drink, and support. Finishers receive bespoke medals and technical T-shirts, with awards for top finishers and a special buckle for those completing both summer and winter events within certain timeframes.

The event emphasizes self-navigation, mandatory gear, and adherence to safety rules. It also supports wildlife conservation through charity entries for the Avon Wildlife Trust. The race is challenging, with various categories, prizes, and opportunities for feedback and community engagement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
