Organiser's Description
Race Overview:
The MTC CYMRUN is one of a six part challenge called the Mount to Coast End to End Challenge.
Each of the six days are individual ultra races in their own right and are part of The Myths & Legends of CYMRUN.
The Route:
The MTC CYMRUN route makes use of the Cycle Route 8 which covers most of the event, starting from Holyhead and concluding in Cardiff. We have added a short distance at the start to ensure that you can easily touch the sea water at Holyhead, and we have added a few miles at the finish so as to extend the route into Barry Island Bay. URL also provide each competitor with several hi-viz technical t-shirts and a hi-viz jacket. All these items are personalised with the competitors name, the year, and the race name. Our head sponsors, Mount to Coast, also provide free footwear for each competitor.
It is important that competitors bring along other suitable clothing and equipment to counteract all types of weather conditions.
If URL consider any competitor not fit to continue we will remove them from the race. In addition, there is a minimum 4 mph requirement - falling below the 4 mph you will be withdrawn without debate.
Competitor numbers are limited to 20.
Time restraints:
Ultra Running has preset cut-off times along the MTC CYMRUN route, based on a minimum average of 4 mph. If you fall below this minimum requirement you will be advised and given a warning. If the consecutive day is also below 4 mph you will be withdrawn without debate.
Under no circumstances will a runner be allowed to continue on the course after 22:00.
The MTC CYMRUN is a Cup-Free event, so please bring your own re-useable cup (available in our store).
Accommodation:
URL provides accommodation at the end of Day 1 through to the end of Day 5. It is each competitors responsibility to book their own accommodation at Holyhead and after their finish at Barry Island.
