Phoenix Running South Wales invites you to join us at RUNIFICENT on Sunday 27th July 2025 at our NEW VENUE at Rhydycar in Merthyr Tydfil.
New Venue = New Passport Stamp!
This is one of our timed events where you choose how far to go - from 5 km to 10 km, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along the Taff Trail. Starting behind Merthyr Tydfil Leisure Centre and heading south to the turnaround point, returning to the Leisure Centre where you will continue north towards Merthyr College to the second turnaround point and head back to the aid station to finish a lap.
We welcome runners and walkers alike. Complete one lap, and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 7-hour time . Everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers medal.
We operate our uniquely flexible rock up and run start times within a one-hour start window, so there is no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late. If you have any special start time requirements, get in touch, and depending on the distance you plan to run, we will try to accommodate all start time requests.
Here at Phoenix Running South Wales, we pride ourselves on providing the very best race bling to highlight your achievement however we are conscious that events can be expensive to enter, and times are tough right now. We are therefore trialling a no medal entry option at a flat £20. We cover our base costs, and you get all the usual Phoenix support, epic aid station, same-day results, athlete's profiles, Phoenix World, digital bibs, digital finishers certificates, and so on, but not having a medal means we can keep the price low for this entry option.
Not sure? Well, the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.
Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter.
Staggered start from 8:30am (registration open from 7.30am)
This route is entirely tarmac. Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 7 hours. The overall course has 63m elevation gain/loss per lap.
