10k run
MARLOES SPUD RUN
What and where is the event?
A 10k multi-terrain run (road, disused airfield, coast path, beach and footpath) set on the Marloes peninsula, based at Runwayskiln café. The event is licensed by UK Athletics.
How big is it?
The field is limited to 200 competitors. Small but perfectly formed!
What is the course like?
Some would say undulating, others would say hilly! It is mainly on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path after all. The route takes in breathtaking views of the Pembrokeshire coast, including the internationally important seabird islands of Skomer and Skokholm. Best of all is a section on the stunning Marloes Sands, quite possibly the most beautiful beach in the world (but don’t tell anyone).
The course can be viewed on, and downloaded from, Garmin Connect here.
Is it suitable for novices?
If you can run or jog 10k, you can do this, but don’t expect a personal best.
What is the minimum age?
You need to be 15 or over on race day.
How much is it to enter?
£30
