The Llangollen 50K

The Llangollen 50K is an ultra-distance running event held in the scenic Dee Valley of North Wales, starting and finishing at Llangollen Leisure Centre. First launched in 2021, the race covers approximately 50 kilometers using two well-marked 15-mile linear routes on either side of the river, linked together with additional distance to reach the full ultra length. The challenging course includes nearly 7,000 feet of ascent, reaching its highest point at Moel Fferna on the Berwyn hills.

Participants enjoy stunning valley views, three vegan-friendly checkpoints with nutritional support, and a supportive atmosphere ideal for both experienced ultra runners and newcomers. All finishers receive a commemorative medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
