Event overview

Come and get involved in the first 'Town to Tower' race and enjoy this beautiful part of North Wales!

Ruthin has recently been recognised as one of the best places to live in the UK, and undoubtedly one of the reasons that this lovely Market Town has been recognised as such, is its location, sitting right beneath the beautiful Clwydian Hills, and its highest point - Moel Famau. 

 

This uphill only race is based right in the heart of the town. The route provides a varied and challenging way up to the Jubliee Tower and a unique finish line, at over 550m above sea level! The view will definitely be worth it. Runners of all abilities are invited to come along and take part - whether you'll find yourself walking a lot of the course, or whether you'll be competing at the sharp end as an experienced hill runner!

After finishing, a short walk of 25-35 minutes takes you back to Bwlch Penbarras, your well-earned medal and transportation home. There will be an option to purchase a bus ticket upon entering the event, to take you back to Ruthin and your vehicle, if you wish.
