The Conquest of Avalon

Glastonbury, United Kingdom • 20 Sep 2025

The Conquest of Avalon is a popular running event organized by Albion Running, featuring two race distances: a 30-mile and a 50-mile course. Both routes follow the historic Leland Trail, culminating in Glastonbury, known for its Arthurian legends and the iconic Glastonbury Tor. The race is characterized by a mix of road and trail, with relatively low elevation gain, making it a faster option compared to other events. Participants can expect scenic views, aid stations, and a vibrant atmosphere, especially near the finish line. All finishers receive a medal, and awards are given to the top male and female runners.
