Coastal Rush 50k (Wales Ultra Trail) Ultra Marathon
If your idea of the perfect ultra involves the scent of salty air and the sound of waves, the Coastal Rush 50k is calling your name. This is a stunning point-to-point ultra marathon along one of the most celebrated and wild stretches of the Wales Coast Path, the southern edge of the Llŷn Peninsula. It’s a route that offers relentless beauty and a challenge that will stay with you long after you've crossed the finish line.
Course
Prepare for a true multi-terrain adventure. This 50k ultra marathon begins with the wide expanse of Abererch Beach, but don't let the sand fool you into thinking this is a flat and easy day out. The 52km route will have you transitioning between sweeping golden beaches, technical single-track trails that hug the cliff edges, peaceful woodland paths, and windswept open fields.
With over 1,009 metres of elevation, the course is a series of punchy climbs and rewarding descents that keep your legs guessing and your heart pumping. This is a beautifully runnable course, but one that demands respect. You'll need the strength for the climbs and the agility for the trails to truly master this coastal gem.
The Coastal Rush 50k (Wales Ultra Trail) is the perfect event for runners looking to step up from the marathon distance and tackle their first ultra. For full details, including up-to-date locations, registration info and kit requirements, please visit the official race website.
