[The web-site of the Glastonbury Road Run

Welcome to the home of the Glastonbury Road Run on the World Wide Web.

The Glastonbury Road Run, with its main event the "Round the Tor 10K", takes place on the Sunday prior to the early May bank holiday each year. The 10K event, one of the largest races in the county of Somerset, is a mainly rural course that undulates around the ancient and mysterious Isle of Avalon, starting and finishing within a stones throw of the alleged burial place of King Arthur within the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey.

In addition to the 10K, there are popular 5K and 3K events for the faint of heart, and a junior schools mile fun run that attracts over 200 competitors! Whilst pre-entry for the event are encouraged there are a regular 300+ who enter on the morning of the race. Entry forms for pre-entries are available from mid December.

The "Round the Tor 10K" is part of the Somerset Road Race Series. Check the LINKS section for details of the other events in this series.

With the reorganisation of the areas sports centres into Leisure Trusts, the association between Glastonbury Leisure Centre and the Glatonbury Road Run has come to a sad end. Many thanks to Stu Mapstone who has been a stalwart of the organising committee for the last few years, and we wish him well in his new post looking after the Bridgewater Leisure Centre.

Because of these changes, Mendip AC have increased their involvement with the event to ensure that the road runs continue to thrive, hence the new-look Web-Site, and an expanded organising committee. We are always on the look-out for any prospective volunteers, so contact the Race Organiser if you think you would be interested in coming on board. Meanwhile, keep the site book-marked for a regular update on the 2010 event.
