About the race
The Pendine Sands Races take place on Pendine Sands, Carmarthenshire, West Wales, on Sunday 11 April 2027. The event offers three beach races run entirely on sand, each using an out-and-back format across the firm, flat areas of the beach when conditions allow.
Courses and basic rules are set to work with tidal conditions and the available running area. The event specifies a maximum race completion time of four hours and a minimum competitor age of 16 years. The races are cup free; competitors should bring a reusable drinking cup or hydration container.
Distances and advertised entry fees:
- 5K, one out and back, turning at 2.5 km, entry £30
- 10K, one out and back, advertised distance 10K with a published note of approximately 10.5K, entry £35
- Half Marathon, two out-and-back sections, approximately 21.1 km, entry £40
Finishers receive bespoke medals sized by distance and trophies will be awarded to the first male and first female finishers in each race. The race headquarters is next to Barnacles Café, Sea View, Pendine, SA33 4NY (what3words ///steepest.daisy.leafing). The organisers work with charity partners Cancer Research Wales and Elidyr Communities Trust.
