Pembrokeshire Coastal Races
The event is a set of point to point trail races that follow the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, a designated National Trail. All routes finish at a cliff top event village and campsite at Dale overlooking Milford Haven. The event base is at Dale Hill Farm Campsite (SA62 3QX) and includes camping, parking, registration, toilets and showers, food and drink vendors, an event marquee and a marked finish area on the cliffs.
Distances and key ascent figures:
- 100 mile ultra - Cardigan to Dale, 160 km, 5,850 m gain
- 50 mile ultra - Porthgain to Dale, 80 km, 2,650 m gain
- 50 km ultra - St Davids to Dale, 50 km, 1,739 m gain
- Trail Marathon - Solva to Dale, 43 km, 1,486 m gain
Routes follow the Pembrokeshire and Wales Coast Path signs; the event is self-navigation but well marked and supported. Competitors receive a GPS file and the organiser provides additional running markers, marshals or flags at tricky sections. Checkpoint counts vary by distance: 12 for 100 mile, 7 for 50 mile, 5 for 50 km, and 4 for the marathon. The 100 mile race allows one drop bag roughly halfway.
Entry for the 100 mile includes two nights camping; camping is optional for the other distances for an extra fee. Entry benefits include checkpoint refreshments, GPS tracker hire with live tracking, parking in Dale, route maps, race photography, bespoke finishers awards, first aid cover and route support.
