The Llangollen 50k 2025

Sat 7th June 2025

A runner with a white cap and tank top, wearing a race bib number 112, confidently climbs a scenic but rugged trail through green hills under a partly cloudy sky. She raises both arms in a victorious gesture while other participants follow behind. Two women, wearing race bibs and hydration packs, stand on a trail in a hilly, open landscape under a partly cloudy sky. One woman is wearing a black shirt with the number 13 on her bib while the other is wearing a light top with a red jacket tied around her waist.

Organiser's Description

A new race that took place for the first time in 2021 - in this truly beautiful area of North Wales. The town of Llangollen sits in the Dee Valley, and our route uses 2 way marked 15 mile linear routes (plus a little extra to gain the magic 50k!) either side of the river, to create a spectacular, challenging excursion in and above the valley. 

Iwan & Eirian enjoy the finish line!

With a well marked course, 3 check points with feed stations and great faciltiies at the starting/finishing area, it'll be a great option for experienced racers at this distance, but also an ideal way to move into ULTRA Running for those less experienced. Rest assured, there will be plenty of walking for the great majority of participants, given the nature of some of the ascents, but it'll allow time to take in the amazing views around you and enjoy support and encouragement from fellow runners, that Ultra Distance is known for!

Checkpoints shall be vegan friendly, and stocked with suitable nutiritional products from the likes of Nine Bar and Mountain Fuel.
