The Gilwern Grunt

Date: Easter Monday - 21st April 2025. 

Venue

Distance: 5-6 miles (approx) 

Entry: £14 affiliated / £16 unaffiliated 



The route will change slightly - but it remains a spectacular run - around and down from Gilwern Hill, a traverse of “The Tumble” and an excursion through the lava-like landscape of the canyons of Pwll Du... and who could forget the finish up and down the infamous volcano?

This gives an approximate distance of 5 / 6 miles.

It really is the most interesting off-road race, with some spectacular scenery set amongst a backdrop of remote moorland-like areas and old quarry workings. A route for connoisseurs! A route for those who like a challenge!
