The Winter Green Man Ultra

The Winter Green Man Ultra is a December ultra-marathon in the UK, held near the Winter Solstice on a single-loop trail course. It is a one-day race, but the 30-hour time limit indicates the scale: runners should anticipate a long effort that may extend through darkness, winter conditions, and fatigue, rather than a brief trail run. The course is primarily off-road, with aid stations provided. Camping is available at the start and finish area. It is more suited to experienced ultra runners than casual first-timers, and the field has a small, close feel where participants often spend significant time moving, waiting, and assisting each other through the night. Finishers receive a medal and a t-shirt, and the race is part of the wider Green Man Ultra series.
