Town and Country Harriers (TACH)
Town and Country Harriers (TACH) is an off-road running club dedicated to exploring the varied countryside around Bristol, in the West of England. Our members are a very diverse bunch. The one thing we have in common is a love of off-road running.

Bristol Community Forest Path (Green Man)
The original 45 mile Forest of Avon circumnavigation of Bristol, created by TACH's Chris Bloor. There are numerous variations on this route. A popular choice for TACHers first ultramarathon. The traditional start/finish is Ashton Court Mansion House but, being circular, you can start and finish anywhere. (Note that the Green Man Ultra commercial race has a number of diversions from this route.) [last checked January 2024]

Gordano Round
A former local race, the Gordano Round Marathon. A 26.2 miles double loop centred on the Black Horse pub in Easton-in-Gordano. Easy enough to do a single loop. Be aware that some parts of the coastal path near Clevedon may have diversions for coastal erosion, and Hinkley power line works may disrupt elements near Caswell / Naish hill.
