Set in the stunning Gower Peninsula – the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - and famous for its golden beaches, limestone cliffs, wild moors, ridges, and woodlands.
The basecamp is in the grounds of the historic Penrice Castle, with weekend camping options and the 100km challenge is a figure-of-eight route made up of west and east loops which take in the best of the Peninsula, its history and its varied, unique landscape. With 75km, 50km, Marathon, 25km and 10K challenge options, as well as a bar and entertainment at basecamp - this event will be the highlight of the season!
This challenge is part of the UK's number one series of trek and trails runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels.
Choose your challenge and do it at your pace. The level of support enables you to go further, whilst enjoying the great outdoors, camaraderie, and the challenge. There are marquee rest stops, lots of food and drink, medical and massage teams, with a fully signed route to guide you.
A big finish-line celebration awaits with an amazing sense of achievement and once the aches subside you’ll feel energised, up for more of life’s real challenges – and, maybe, personal horizons redefined.

A great option if you want to join someone on the Full Challenge on Saturday evening to finish with them, or just set off with most others on Saturday morning or early Sunday morning on your own fantastic challenge! It’s 50km on the east loop – along the coast past Bantam Bay, Caswell Bay and around to Mumbles Head and along past the ‘Mumbles’ sand and mud. Then inland past Clyne Wood up to Gowerton – back down to the Gower Way, and a final push back to basecamp where a noisy welcome and medal awaits!
