Phoenix Running South Wales invites you to join us for our first 'BOBBLE WOBBLE' at our final NEW ROUTE for 2025 in Aberfan.
Our 2025 bobble hat is simply gorgeous; presented in snow & mocha, with matching mocha 'PHOENIX' embroidery. This is a very high quality, double-lined, nice and warm, bobble hat. All finishers receive a hat (unless you have chosen the no hat entry option).
This is one of our timed events where you choose how far to go - from 5km to 10k, 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 at Aberfan, Merthyr Tydfil.
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 starts from 8:30am (registration open from 7.30am).
Free parking is available at the Community Centre. What 3 Words reference is ///puppy.snuck.obey.
