There are many places along the route to support and cheer the runners and provide aid. Our checkpoints will have fluids, gels and snacks, however, additional food and fluids can be provided by helpers anywhere along the route. Note that some sections of the route are long and arduous with some considerable time between aid stations – so be prepared and ensure you carry enough supplies.

Meet the organizer

Tucked away beyond Snowdonia’s craggiest peaks with the Irish Sea on one side and Cardigan Bay on the other, the Llŷn Peninsula has a distinctive, unspoiled character that’s all its own. Its sunny southern coast draws walkers, wakeboarders, and dinghy-sailors There are several islands dotted around the peninsula, with the famous ancient pilgrimage site of Bardsey Island, at its tip and can be seen in all its beauty during the race. The islands and coastline of Llŷn are a haven for wildlife and an area of outstanding natural beauty. Seals and dolphins are common sites around the peninsula. All of this makes a perfect backdrop for the Pen Llŷn Ultra.

A fantastic ultra with a great group of volunteer marshalls to cheer you on at each well stocked checkpoint. I ran the 75 mile race in 2019 and would reccommend it to anyone looking for a challenging ultramarathon in beautiful surroundings. The route follows the Wales Coast Path around the stunning Llŷn peninsula, hugging the coastline for 60 miles before turning inland for the last section across the peninsula. This is not a race for beginners (there is a shorter 50 mile version for newbies as well as a 100 mile monster!) but would suit anyone looking to step up their distance. It is a trail ultra with relatively little road running (almost entirely in the last 15 miles or so), however navigation is not particularly challenging, allowing the runner to concentrate on maintaining their pace and enjoying the incredible scenery! You don't have to take my word for it, check out the mini documentary on Youtube: https://youtu.be/GC4godxUiXo
