MARGAM WILD TRAIL RUNS

Get ready for the MARGAM WILD TRAIL RUNS, returning to Margam Country Park on May 27th, offering runners of all levels an unforgettable outdoor adventure.
Located near Swansea in Wales (SA13 2TJ), this event features three distinct routes through the picturesque and expansive Margam Country Park. The park's diverse terrain offers a mix of wooded trails, open fields, and stunning views of its historic castle and surrounding landscapes.
The 5km route is ideal for beginners, providing a scenic loop around the Castle that highlights the beauty of the park without overwhelming challenges.
For those looking to tackle more rugged paths, the 10km course includes an initial flat section followed by a steep ascent, rewarding runners with panoramic views from the summit before descending through varied terrain.
The Half Marathon, integrating parts of the 10km route, takes participants on a journey that culminates in a challenging climb to the park's highest point. This longer distance offers breathtaking vistas and an exhilarating descent back down into the heart of Margam Country Park.
Cani-cross enthusiasts are welcome at this event, with one controlled dog per runner permitted across all routes. Participants should be aware that parts of both the 10km and Half Marathon courses feature rocky descents and gravel paths which may present challenges for dogs.
The race starts bright and early on May 27th:
- 5km: 9:45 AM
- 10km & Half Marathon: 9:30 AM
All participants will enjoy live chip timing provided by RESULTS BASE.NET, ensuring accurate results. Upon crossing the finish line, runners can look forward to receiving an event medal and exclusive merchandise from Wild Deer. Refreshments including a drink and snack are also available.
