Pendine Sands Races

The Pendine Sands Races, held on the beach at Pendine, Wales, offer a unique running experience with distances including 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, Marathon, and Ultra (32.8 miles). The course is a well-marked out-and-back route of 3.28 miles on firm sand, historically known for land speed record attempts, making it ideal for running, even barefoot. Water stations are available along the route, and the event is cup-free, encouraging reusable cups.

Races are timed according to tide tables to ensure safety. All finishers receive bespoke medals, and trophies are awarded to category winners. The event welcomes runners of all abilities and includes strict time limits due to tidal conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
