The Winter GMU

Sat 2nd March 2024

Five runners on a trail, wearing running gear and numbered bibs, are captured mid-race. The path is muddy and surrounded by greenery. The runners appear focused, with some showing signs of exertion. A woman with red hair smiles while running on a forest trail wearing a yellow shirt, gray shorts, and a hydration vest. She has a race number 107 bib pinned to her shorts. Surrounding her are lush green trees and foliage. Three male runners, all wearing race bibs and sports gear, are running joyfully outdoors on a grassy path. One of them is playfully holding another’s hand. They appear to be enjoying the run together, with all of them smiling. The background features a green field. A man in a yellow shirt and blue shorts is running on a forest trail. He is wearing a hydration pack and a watch, and smiling at the camera. The background consists of trees and greenery. Another person in a red shirt is partially visible to his left. A group of runners, wearing race bibs and backpacks, stand together outdoors. One runner in an orange shirt and black cap smiles at the camera. Another in a gray shirt and yellow bib, marked 294, looks ahead thoughtfully. Other participants are visible in the background.

Organiser's Description

What is The Green Man Ultra?
Entries are now open for 2024

The Green Man Ultra is a 30 or 45 mile loop around the beautiful city of Bristol, following the distributed woodland of the Community Forest Path. The event is run by Ultra Running Limited and consists of four well-stocked checkpoints, chip timing, and pacers running at 9, 10, 11 and 12 hour times.

The race is run twice a year, once in the winter and again in the summer, offering two very different experiences of the course. The winter event is often muddy, providing challenging but fun conditions, and the summer event is more firm underfoot and faster to run. For added variation, the two events are also run in opposite directions.

Race Overview:

The Winter Green Man Ultra comes in two formats – the 45 mile distance and the 30 mile distance. Both races are held on the same course on the same day and have the same checkpoints and finish, just with differing start locations.

Both distances for the winter event will run the course in a ANTI-CLOCKWISE direction. This is different to the summer event.

Runners who complete both the summer and winter 45 mile events in the same year will additionally be awarded a prestigious GMU buckle. Four different buckles are available, awarded cumulative running time over both events – Sub 15 hours; sub 18 hours; sub 21 hours; sub 24 hours.
