Could you conquer the Green Man?Embark on the Green Man Ultra, an unforgettable 45-mile race around Bristol's Community Forest Path. This year marks my fifth attempt at conquering this gruelling course, although I almost didn't make it to the start line! While the ever-present mud is a familiar adversary, this time I faced the added challenges of snow and a river so high I almost had to swim! The cold seeped into my bones, turning every step into a test of endurance and willpower.Despite having tackled much longer races, the Green Man proved to be one of the toughest challenges yet. The route sees you crossing above and below a surprising number of motorways and railway tracks, climbing hills to panoramic landscapes, crossing airfields, and passing viaducts and centuries-old locks. The Dramway brings miles of mining heritage, then there's the beautiful grounds at Blaise and the history-rich Clifton Downs.The race finishes over the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, offering breathtaking views of Bristol. Just one mile from the finish line, you pass a stone sculpture of the Green Man himself –a symbol of rebirth and the eternal cycle of nature.The legend of the Green Man adds a mystical layer to the race, reminding us of our deep connection to the natural world and
