Participants of the Midsummer mortimer trail having fun

The Midsummer Mortimer Trail, the sister events to The Midwinter Mortimer Trail, consists of two distances of mixed trail/forest/road runs along the beautiful Mortimer Trail, which runs between the historic market towns of Kington, Herefordshire and Ludlow, Shropshire.

Starting opposite the Burton Hotel, Kington, the MMT(S) Ultra is a mere 30ish mile multi terrain run. The route takes you through the Marches of England, with extensive forests, limestone tops and gentle pastures in an area dominated in mediaeval times by the Mortimer family, one of the most powerful Norman earldoms.

The MMT(S) Croft15 follows the last half of the Ultra route, starting at the lovely Riverside Inn, Aymestrey.
