Full Montycute 10 Trail Race
The Full MontyCute is in its 27th edition. It is a roughly 10.7 miles multi‑terrain trail race across Ham Hill Country Park and the surrounding area, featuring at least ten named hills to ascend.
The event starts and finishes at the Ham Hill Visitor Centre in the Lime Kiln car park. The route has been adjusted from previous years but still includes views from the Stoke sub Hamdon War Memorial. The course passes through Hedgecock Woods, includes the steep climb to St Michael’s Tower, climbs through Ladies Walk, and crosses into Witcombe Valley with repeated steep sections before reaching High Wood.
The route continues with a steep drop to Bagnell Farm, the climb up Peace Hill, a descent down Grintley Lane, and sections through Norton sub Hamdon and Tinkers Bubble. Runners then climb through woods, return via Witcombe Valley, and follow the ancient hill fort ramparts back to the Visitor Centre for the finish.
This is a cupless race; participants must carry their own drinking vessel. There are three drink stations staffed by volunteers and these stations will include sweets. Entry is limited to 270 places for parking and environmental reasons. There are no entries on the day. Minimum age on race day is 17 years. Race Permit ARC/26/0260. Race bibs must be collected on Race Day from Race HQ at the Ham Hill Visitor Centre. Running with dogs is not permitted. Finishers receive a Christmas pudding and a medal.
