Save the date for the second Glastonbury Abbey Run the Ruins, returning on June 21st, 2026.Tickets on sale in November 2025.
Celebrate the mid-summer weekend by entering our trail run around Glastonbury Abbey’s stunning 36-acre grounds.
The Route
Like the history of the abbey itself, the route is full of drama. Loops that cover perfectly manicured lawn, gnarly uneven ground and lose gravel paths are all primed for overtaking, giving way to short, sharp sections where you can choose one of two routes, then dipping into single track sections where passing is forbidden, through the woods, across bridges and down the side of the ruins.
