PHOENIX - South Wales - Lovespoon Run 2027

Celebrate St Dwynwen's Day on January 23, 2027, with Phoenix Running South Wales at the LOVESPOON Run. This unique event features an all-new 'Violets are Blue' theme and takes place within Parc Taf Bargoed, a stunning Green Flag park known for its breathtaking views shaped by both industrial history and recent redevelopment.
Runners can choose from various distances ranging from 5km to ultra marathons on a scenic 3.28-mile out-and-back course through the picturesque parklands of Parc Taf Bargoes. The terrain is primarily tarmac paths with approximately half a mile on riverside trails, offering an elevation gain of just 37 meters.
Participants are encouraged to run as much or as little as they like within the event's generous seven-hour window, making it perfect for both casual joggers and serious endurance athletes alike. All finishers receive a bespoke medal celebrating their achievement, while those who prefer not to purchase one can opt for a no-medal entry at a reduced price of £20.
The race offers flexible start times throughout the day, ensuring that runners are never left waiting or feeling rushed. With epic aid stations and same-day results available, this event is designed to cater to all levels of experience while maintaining an inclusive atmosphere for everyone who loves running in Wales's scenic landscapes.
Registration opens at 7:30 am on race day, so mark your calendars now and join us for a memorable run that honors the spirit of St Dwynwen.
