The Summer Green Man Ultra

The Summer Green Man Ultra presents runners with two challenging distances to choose from: the longer 45-mile route and its slightly shorter sibling at 30 miles. Both races traverse an identical course, share checkpoints along the way, and culminate at the same finish line on a single day. However, their starting points differ, setting up unique experiences for each distance.
Participants will encounter varied terrain as they navigate through lush landscapes in a clockwise direction during this summer edition—a stark contrast to the counterclockwise route taken by Winter Green Man Ultra runners. The course is known for its scenic beauty and rigorous testing of endurance, offering breathtaking views at every turn.
For those who take on both the 45-mile distances in both winter and summer events within a year, an exclusive GMU buckle awaits as recognition of their achievement. This prestigious award comes in four categories based on cumulative race times: Sub-15 hours, Sub-18 hours, Sub-21 hours, and Sub-24 hours.
The Summer Green Man Ultra promises not only physical challenges but also a rewarding experience for runners who embrace its demanding yet picturesque journey through the countryside.
