Butcombe Trail Ultra

Rowberrow, United Kingdom • 25 Apr 2026

Butcombe Trail Ultra is a pair of self-navigation trail ultramarathons in the Mendip Hills, Somerset: 50 miles and 50 kilometres. The official Butcombe Trail forms a 47-mile loop around six pubs in the Mendips, mostly off-road, offering rolling countryside and panoramic views. Races start and finish at the Mendip Activity Centre, with courses run anti-clockwise. Organized by volunteers from Bristol’s Town & Country Harriers to benefit the Mendip Hills Fund, the event blends community spirit with a demanding navigation challenge. For 2026, timing is enhanced with tracking devices, both distances qualify as UTMB index races, and prize categories are increasingly inclusive.
