Welsh Festival Of Running - 100 Mile Challenge (Individual & Team)

About the event

Embark on an epic journey through the scenic landscapes of Dare Valley Country Park as part of the inaugural Welsh Festival Of Running, featuring the 100 Mile Challenge. This unique endurance event offers runners up to 34 hours to cover a challenging yet achievable distance around a picturesque 5-mile loop within the park.
Participants will traverse the same course twenty times in total, offering ample opportunities for rest and resupply at race headquarters between laps. The well-marked route ensures that navigational skills are not required, making this event accessible even for those new to ultra-distance running or long walks. As you progress through the night, enjoy a range of aid stations equipped with essential supplies and hot meals, including pizza to fuel your journey.
The event is designed to cater to various levels of ambition; while completing all 20 laps earns you an exclusive finisher's buckle along with the medal, those who drop down from the full distance still receive recognition for their efforts. A dedicated rest area provides a comfortable space to recuperate and recharge during breaks in your run or walk.
Dare Valley Accommodation & Campsite offers convenient overnight stays for participants looking to conserve energy before tackling another lap of this grueling yet rewarding challenge. Alternatively, nearby towns such as Aberdare provide additional lodging options based on availability.
Join us at the 100 Mile Challenge and immerse yourself in a supportive community that celebrates every step you take towards your goal.
Experience the magic of Dare Valley Country Park under starlit skies and amidst stunning Welsh scenery. This event is more than just miles covered; it's an adventure through nature, camaraderie, and personal limits.
