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.

When can I enter?

Entries are coming soon. We’ll share the fee and booking details here when it’s time. Until then, telling your mates you’re “thinking about it” counts as training.

What else do I need to know?

We’ll share the start time, course, kit list, eligibility and race rules before entries open. In the meantime, practise eating a sandwich in less time than it takes to find a dry pair of socks.

Can I click here to get all the race details?

Nice try. The sheep know everything, but they’ve signed an NDA.

Another loop awaits.

Daylight. Darkness. How many times will you hear the bell?
Entries coming soon.
