Organiser's Description
The route starts with a salty trot across the beach at Marloes Sands, followed by some curly singletrack, a mash dash up some steps, a few wedgy rock sections and some stream crossings, before quickly running out of potato puns!
The Spud Run is open to runners of all abilities, from first-timers and beginners to experts and club runners, all with an emphasis on fun (nobody will be breaking any World records).

Course Details
