---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A choice of 3 enjoyable and iconic runs, hilly in parts, of approx. 10k, 5k and 2k, over the famous Glastonbury Festival site, in Pilton, Somerset.
The runs take in The Pyramid Stage, the Stone Circle and the Pirate Ship, and the 10k run additionally passes by the fabulous medieval Pilton Abbey Barn and goes along part of the old trackway of the Somerset & Dorset Railway!
The runs are mainly on tracks & trails, with some short grassy section/s.
NEWS UPDATE! The route for the 10k run is now finalized. It is roughly a figure-of-eight route, with only a short section near the middle run twice, so that should please those who don't like just doing a two-lap run!!!
Your entry fee will go towards supporting the work of the Children's Hospice South West.
Hot & cold drinks and other refreshments, including yummy home-made cakes will be available.
