The MTC Winter Green Man Ultra

The Winter Green Man Ultra offers runners two challenging distances: the grueling 45-mile route and the slightly shorter but still formidable 30-mile course. Both races take place on the same meticulously crafted trail, with identical checkpoints and a shared finish line. The twist lies in their unique anti-clockwise direction, setting this winter edition apart from its summer counterpart.
Participants can immerse themselves in a rugged landscape that transforms dramatically under snow-covered trees and frosty mornings. This race is not just about endurance; it’s an adventure through the heart of winter beauty, with every step revealing new vistas and challenges. The event promises to test runners' mettle against cold temperatures and slippery terrain while rewarding them with breathtaking views.
For those who conquer both the summer and winter 45-mile events in a single year, there is an extra layer of recognition: earning one of four prestigious GMU buckles based on cumulative running time over both races. Achievements such as sub-15 hours, sub-18 hours, sub-21 hours, or even sub-24 hours are celebrated with these specially crafted awards.
The Winter Green Man Ultra is a testament to the spirit of runners who embrace winter's raw beauty and push their limits in one of nature’s most challenging environments.
