The Welsh 3000s Run Challenge is a 1 day, fully guided and supported run along the highest mountains of Wales. The traditional 24 hour challenge to complete the 15 peaks is a tough ask, but doable for most moderately fit walkers who have prepared well. We will be moving relatively quickly for this challenge, and shall be running sections where appropriate, to gain an overall completion time of around 15 hours.
Draycote Water is set in the heart of Warwickshire and is an ideal place for a run. We have organised this year's race two weeks before the Warwick Half Marathon to help runners to prepare for the event. For an added challenge we will offer a prize to any runner tha can "Beat the Hour!" A mixed ability race. All runners are welcome.
Set in the beautiful Cherwell Valley countryside, both distances utilise the base's runway, RAF taxiway and NATO taxiway and are therefore pancake flat, traffic-free and pretty much PB guaranteed!
Something for the whole family and a safe environment for spectators with refreshments and plenty of history around you!
Fast, flat, fantastic! Choice of half marathon, 10k, 5k. Set in the beautiful Cherwell Valley countryside, the three routes all utilise the Heyford Park Airbase's Runway, RAF Taxiway & NATO Taxiway and are therefore pancake flat and traffic-free. These races are timed perfectly if you are planning to run a Spring marathon, but equally good for those venturing into racing, moving up a distance or just trying to improve times.
As part of the annual, week long Church Stretton Walking Festival, the 2019 Mynd Drover features all new routes, including a 26 mile, hilly and exceptionally scenic, challenge walk/run with 4,750 feet of ascent. Shorter options include an 20 mile route with 3,550 feet of ascent and a 13 mile route with 2,350 feet of ascent.
Each self-guided route will take walkers and runners to the more remote corners of the beautiful Longmynd range, along some of the less used, ancient, sunken lanes and drovers tracks, through spectacular south Shropshire landscape.
It is possible to change your preferred distance either on the day or online beforehand.
We changed the course in 2010 through the Daylesford Estate and the village of Cornwell and now for variation, have decided to change the original 10K route (which was a twice up Churchill Road and back hilly climb) to a one 10K loop incorporating the grounds of Kingham Hill School, Sarsden Halt, Churchill and back to Kingham. Feedback would be appreciated. I am trying to keep everyone happy! Not an easy task...
Thousands of participants start the day off with a plain white t-shirt at registration, then whilst completing the 5KM course getting covered head to toe in rainbows of coloured powder.
Coming to a city near you!
#FunColourRush
The Fan Dance is a gruelling 24km non-navigational race over two sides of Pen Y Fan, the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons. This infamous route has long been a part of SAS (Special Air Service) and SBS (Special Boat Service) Selection and is considered the yardstick of a candidate's potential to perform well on Test Week and ultimately pass the Special Forces Selection programme.
Starting at the iconic old red phone box the race goes straight up to the summit checkpoint of Pen Y Fan and, after descending "Jacob's Ladder", continues along an undulating stone vehicle track (the "Roman Road") to the second checkpoint which also serves as a tea stop and turnaround point. Then, taking the route in reverse, racers climb back up "The Fan" via Jacob's ladder and pass through the summit checkpoint a second time before legging their way back down to the finish at the old red phone box.
The route is a real lung buster that throws everything at you, including the elements. There are steady slopes that allow a solid jogging pace, shocking inclines that have you almost on your hands and knees, loose stone tracks that require cautious foot placements and a forested vehicle track that allows for some rapid going. Even SAS recruits at the height of their physical abilities regard beating the clock in this event as a serious challenge, and all know its capacity to hurt. Aside from the race aspect of this event, just getting to the end is an accomplishment and something to be proud of.
The Fan Dance is open to ANYONE looking for a unique challenge: be it personal, competitive, as a sponsored participant in aid of your favourite charity or as part of a team building exercise. As per real Special Forces Selection, the event will be staged in both summer and winter (both load-bearing and clean fatigue).

Utilising the longest riverside walk in Britain, the Severn Challenge takes you along 210 miles of path, from the source of Afon Hafren (Welsh for River Severn) to the mouth of the River Severn. Added to this the four mile trek to reach the source, the Severn Challenge commands an impressive distance of 217 miles.
This is one of the shorter sections of the Severn Challenge.
From Maesmawr B&B the route remains away from the river, going through Hollybush, Rhyd-y-felin, and finally rejoining the river Severn at Dolerw Park, passing the Gorsedd stone circle, which marks the site of Newtons Eisteddfod. Continue along the river Severn which joins the Montgomery Canal Walk, past the Pwll Penarth Nature Reserve, Welshpool, Offas Dyke Path, Breidden Hills through to Montford Bridge. Onward through Bicton entering the outskirts of Shrewsbury and finally reaching Camp-Two which is the Wingfield Arms Camping Site.
The start and finish are in the same place, about 300m from the Malt Shovel. The first 100m is slightly downhill before a left turn on to Breamfield Lane. After 1.7miles, and just before Alport Heights, you do a left hand loop before turning right to rejoin the course (2.9miles) and return by the same route as you started along.

Run entirely on the waymarked Grand Union Canal Towpath, the easy to navigate, and relatively flat route, takes runners through a variety of urban and rural scenery there should be something for everyone.

There are no entry qualifications (other than that you must be over eighteen and willing to give it a good try) so runners of all abilities are welcomed. Entrants should, though, be aware that they must be able to maintain a rate of progress in line with an overall time limit of 45 hours.

Welcome to the 29th Dymock Half Marathon. Our annual event runs through the rolling countryside of the Gloucestershire\Herefordshire borders.
The course runs through beautiful rural countryside. Its a road race, but mainly on the lanes with only about 600 yards of B road. It would best be described as hilly/undulating and as such not one for a PB, although we are confident a new course record could be set this year and there will be a prize for a course record.
10-kilometre traffic free course using the surfaced perimeter tracks and footpaths of Worcester Racecourse. Three laps.
The Bridgnorth Lions Walk and Junior Walk is an established source of funds for many charities and organisations. With up to 1200 competitors, supporters and walk officials, the event involves many people from the local community. Since 2017 the walk is organised by Bridgnorth Lions ClubEvery entrant except for the Marathon is expected to gain sponsorship for a charity of their choice.
This is another comparatively flat stage. The path soon reaches the river again at Purton, briefly departing at Sharpness and Newton before circumnavigating the Berkeley Power Station, then back to the river taking on Oldbury-on-Severn, Oldbury Pill and Littleton Pill.
