The Winter Gmu
The Winter Green Man Ultra (Winter GMU) is a challenging ultra marathon held annually around Bristol, UK, featuring two distances: 45 miles and 30 miles. The 45-mile race is a full anti-clockwise loop of the Community Forest Path starting and finishing at Ashton Park School, with 3100 feet of elevation gain. The 30-mile race begins at Keynsham and finishes at Ashton Park School, covering 1900 feet of ascent.
The course is known for its muddy winter conditions, making it tough yet rewarding. The event includes four well-stocked checkpoints, chip timing, and pacers targeting 9 to 12-hour finish times. Finishers receive bespoke medals, technical t-shirts, and hot food at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
