About

The Vale Coastal Trail Races offer a demanding point-to-point adventure along the Wales Coast Path in South Wales, showcasing some of the region’s most striking coastal scenery. Runners follow rugged trails above dramatic clifftops, past secluded coves and along the sweeping Glamorgan Heritage Coast, with a route that combines natural beauty and sustained effort in equal measure. Each course finishes at Ogmore-by-Sea, but not before the race’s signature sting in the tail: the infamous Hill of Doom, a steep final climb that delivers a stern test of endurance and determination. With fully marked routes and supportive checkpoints along the way, the atmosphere balances tough challenge with a well-organised, encouraging race-day experience.
