Follow event Run/Walk Off Road/Trail Kids

The Ras y Barcud Coch Red Kite Race at Devils Bridge, Ceredigion on 27 April 2024 includes Half Marathon, 10km and Junior events.

The Half Marathon is the premier trail race in Mid Wales and the 2024 event incorporates both the Welsh Trail Running Championships and the West Wales Trail Running Championships.

This is a testing 13.1 mile course starting at Woodlands Caravan Park and meandering its way up to the Arch. On the way you will negotiate several steep hills in the forest and plenty of ups and downs on forest roads, tracks and trails. After visiting the highest point near the Cefn Croes windfarm you will work your way down to the famous Arch. From there you will climb to the viewpoint before a predominantly downward section back to Devil’s Bridge.

The 10km trail race is for people relatively new to running or new to running off road. The course follows much of the half marathon route.

The 10km and Half Marathon courses can also be walked as non-competitive events.

Junior races vary in distances from 3km to 6km.
