All experience levels welcome.

Croeso · You’re welcome here

A little loop.
A great big
Welsh welcome.

Big scenery, good company and a welcome that makes you feel part of things before you’ve pinned your number on. That’s our corner of Wales.

Bring your legs, a few butterflies and your sense of humour. We’ll take the running seriously. Ourselves? Less so.

How it works

One hour.
One more loop.

A fresh start every hour. Keep going for as long as you can. Simple enough on paper. Your legs may request a second opinion.

The official backyard format
  1. Head out.

    Complete a loop in under an hour.

  2. Come back.

    Use the time left to refuel and reset.

  3. Go again.

    Be at the next hourly start. The last runner must complete one more loop than everyone else to win.

The practical bits

A few loose ends.

Where’s the exact venue?

Still to be confirmed. Glanusk Estate is being considered; travel and parking details will follow once the venue is agreed.

When can I enter?

Entries aren’t open yet. We’ll share the fee and booking details here when they’re ready.

What else do I need to know?

Start time, course, kit list, eligibility and full event rules will be published before entries open. Sunshine and a waterproof may feature in the same sentence. It is Wales.

Another loop awaits.

Entries coming soon. Your butterflies can start now if they like.
