Terrain
Runners and walkers take on a scenic 5.3km out-and-back loop through Parc Taf Bargoed, a Green Flag park with spectacular views shaped by industrial heritage. The multi-terrain course is mostly on tarmac with a short riverside trail section, and participants can complete as many laps as they like within a 7-hour window. With flexible 'rock up and run' starts, a well-stocked aid station, chip timing and a bespoke finisher's medal, it's a low-pressure event for all abilities.
