Rabbit Run Marathon

About trip

The Rabbit Run Marathon (approx. 42.2K) offers a thrilling trail running experience! It takes in all that the original 12K Rabbit Run has to offer, running around the private grounds of the Merthyr Mawr Estate and including hills, valleys, sand dunes, a river crossing and the opportunity to take a tumble down the Big Dipper, the biggest sand dune in Wales. Upon completion of the 12K route, Marathon runners will head out on a tour of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, which promises dramatic landscapes, plunging cliffs, secluded coves and breathtaking views. Runners will enjoy highlights including the Ogmore River, Ogmore Beach, Southerndown, Dunraven Bay and the picturesque village of Monknash before venturing back towards the Merthyr Mawr Estate via the rolling countryside of the Vale of Glamorgan. Whilst signage will direct participants in key locations, there will be an element of self-navigation. Those taking part should take steps to ensure they are familiar with the route, for which a GPX digital download will be available and have all items on race kit list. Please note that this Strava GPX route flie is approximate and that much of the course is ran on private grounds, so you must not attempt to run the full course outside of the official event.
