Just the most fun ultra race. True community feel to it. Amazing team organising it and volunteers. Great route - challenging without being silly, great scenery. Have done the winter version a couple of times before, this was my first time doing the summer one. I’ll be back! Thank you to everyone involved.

Great event following an interesting route. Pre event communication was aided by the Facebook group, but official Comms come out a little late. The aid stations were well stocked & the volunteers & organisers were full of energy and enthusiasm with a great post race chilli.

I can't fault the team that supported on the day, from registration to aid stations to the finish, they were great. I feel that the aid stations should be more substantial. There is no electrolyte on the course & only one of the aid stations was well stocked. The pop up stations provided by locals were much better than the official ones! It feels that the price paid is out of line with the experience... I have done much cheaper ultras with a marked course & substantial variety at the aid stations.

Thank you, Katie, for your feedback and kind words about the team. We’re sorry the aid stations fell short of your expectations. Fully marking a 45-mile route is logistically challenging, but we understand your feedback on navigation and value.

I love this event and I have entered for the last 5 years , my only gripe is the finish coming through long Ashton to the school, the way is not clear , it used to be ! But the last 4 years there are no signs to help you get to the finish smoothly especially after running 6 hours

Thanks for joining us for five years, John! We’re sorry the route to the finish wasn’t clear, and we appreciate you highlighting where better signage would help.

Overall a good event but the aid stations were slightly disappointing, could have had some better food for £120 entry. I enjoyed the day but not worth the money at all for me. If it was half the price I’d probably do it every year! The routing map right near the finish line sent us straight over a big ditch with no obvious way around, leaving three of us stranded before a member of the public told us how to get round! The GPX line just needs a little bit of fine tuning but otherwise navigation was fine.

Thank you for your honest feedback – we’re really glad you enjoyed the day overall and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear the aid stations didn’t quite meet your expectations. We’re always looking for ways to improve, and we’re reviewing our offerings to ensure runners feel well-supported throughout the course. Just to clarify, the standard entry price is £95. We do understand that value for money is important, and we’ll continue working to deliver an experience that reflects that. Your note about the GPX near the finish is also really helpful – we’ll definitely be refining that section to avoid confusion or unnecessary detours in future events. Thanks again for your feedback – we hope to see you back another year, and we’ll aim to make it an even better experience next time.

I have been lucky enough to have completed 8 Green Man Ultra's (2 winter, 6 Summer) and for me there is no other race quite like it. I have taken part in races all over the world but the Green Man holds a special place in my heart. It is the one that I am most fond of. Bristol is my home City and running the route is always a pleasure (sometimes painful, but always so satisfying). The organisers are a great bunch of people and the volunteers are always on point (which is important in events like this). I have ran the event in heatwaves, snow, flooding and always come out the other side wanting to do it again. I look forward to seeing the usual faces and lots of new faces for the next one. If it's your first time (or are hesitating about signing up) it is an amazing achievement and one you will always cherish.

Thank you so much for your incredible support over the years – completing eight Green Man Ultras is an amazing achievement, and we’re honoured that the event holds such a special place in your heart. It means even more knowing you've run races all over the world and still consider the Green Man your favourite. Bristol truly is a fantastic city to run around (even with the occasional pain!), and we’re so glad the route continues to bring you both challenge and satisfaction. Your kind words about the organisers and volunteers mean a great deal – they really are the backbone of the event, especially in all kinds of weather! We can’t wait to welcome you back again, see those familiar faces, and share the experience with many new ones too. Thank you for being such a valued part of the Green Man family.
