Races to fill your marathon void
What? Ring O’ Fire
Why? 135 miles of cross-country running might sound impossible, but if 26.2 miles wasn’t enough to satiate your running appetite, this certainly will. A coastal ultra marathon staged over three days, runners will be taken on an extraordinary journey around the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales. The route follows the rugged and spectacular Anglesey Coastal Path, an area whose near entirety has been designated an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. Couple that with an impressive backdrop of Snowdonia mountain range and stretching coastal views and you’re in for a pretty amazing weekend. Beautiful it may be, but this extreme distance and variable terrain makes this race one of the most challenging ultra marathons in the British Isles.
When? 1-3 September
