Scare Bear Run 2026 - Wales

The Scare Bear Run takes place in the Dare Valley Country Park in Aberdare. This themed event is centered around a 7-hour time challenge, which allows participants to control the distance they run or walk. The course consists of well-maintained footpaths and trails through the parkland, offering runners views of the surrounding countryside.

Participants complete laps on a recurring loop. A full lap is approximately 7 km (4.37 miles), though this is subject to change based on course conditions. Specialized turn points at 3 km and 5 km are integrated into the lap to accommodate different age restrictions and goals. Finishers who complete at least one 3 km segment receive a themed medal.

Available distances include:

  • 3 km
  • 5 km
  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon (3 laps)
  • Marathon (6 laps)
  • 50 km
  • Ultra Marathon (7 or more laps)

An aid station located at the start and finish of each lap provides a variety of sweet and savoury snacks, including vegan options and ice cream for all finishers. The venue offers free parking, a cafe, and toilet facilities, though no dedicated changing rooms or showers are available. All participants receive a goody bag upon completion of their chosen distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
