Organiser's Description
Phoenix Running South Wales invites you to join us at our PROSECCO RUN on Sunday 12th July 2026 at Barry Sidings Country Park. What more could you want running and prosecco!
This is one of our timed events where you choose how far to go - from 5km to 10km, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along the Taff Trail through the park. Starting near Barry Sidings Cafe, you will head down the trail towards Pontypridd to the turnaround point, you will retrace your steps passing the aid station, the cafe, and the lakes on your way to Trehafod and the turnaround point, returning to the aid station to finish a lap.
We welcome runners and walkers alike - complete one lap and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 7-hour time limit. Everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers medal.
We operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times so no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late. If you have any special start time requirements, get in touch because depending on the distance you plan to run, we will try to accommodate all start time requests.
Not sure? Well, the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.
Places will be strictly limited, so don't leave it too late to enter.
Staggered starts from 8:30am (registration open from 7.30am). Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 7 hours. This route is entirely tarmac or pavement. The overall course has 50m elevation gain/loss per lap.
