In a couple of weeks time, I am hoping to participate in the Green Man Ultra- a 45 mile route around Bristol's Community Forest Path. I ran this event in 2015, and remember it as a really nice start to one day ultra races. I also recall it as a reasonably flat route (ahem, I could be wrong); a bit muddy underfoot; well-stocked checkpoints and a lovely race atmosphere.
The race is steeped in folklore; any competitor completing the course within 12 hours is a Woodrose or Woodwight. The pacers are named Timelords- brilliant.
It will be my first long distance event for six months - the nerves are already beginning to kick in. All being well, I get to meet up with running people from the past. Awesome.
