Difficulty
A single-loop 30 mile trail race that leaves Chepstow on the Wye Valley Walk, climbs north all the way to Monmouth and then returns south on the Offa's Dyke Path. It packs in roughly 5,540 ft of climbing, so the day is long and hilly rather than fast, and it is supported by two fully stocked aid stations, a midpoint water station and a drop bag point.

Other questions
They share the same idea but are separate single loops. The WYVUM 30 heads north along the Wye Valley Walk as far as Monmouth and returns on the Offa's Dyke Path. The HALF follows the Wye Valley Walk only as far as Brockweir, then turns back to Chepstow on the Offa's Dyke Path.
The WYVUM 30 has around 5,540 ft of elevation gain and the WYVUM HALF has around 2,350 ft. Both are hilly days out rather than flat trail runs, so pace accordingly.
The WYVUM 30 has two fully stocked aid stations plus a midpoint water station and a drop bag point. The HALF has one fully stocked aid station. Professional medical cover and volunteer support are provided across the event.
The HALF at 14.5 miles with around 2,350 ft of climbing is the gentler introduction, while the 30 mile route with 5,540 ft of ascent is a full day in the hills. Either way, the mandatory kit and self-navigation requirement mean you should be comfortable on marked and unmarked trail before entering.
The organiser publishes a race manual and keeps the event page at pegasusultrarunning.com updated with the most recent information, including timings and any changes to the route or kit list.
