🏃‍♀️ RUNNING IS BETTER TOGETHER! 🏃‍♂️

Training for the Great Welsh Marathon? Why not join our Strava Club and become part of the community?

It’s not about being the fastest or running the furthest. There’s no competition here.

It’s about seeing other runners putting in the miles, finding a bit of motivation when you need it, and knowing that there are plenty of other people out there working towards the same goal.

👀 Check the leaderboard and see the progress being made
💪 Get inspired by other runners’ training
👏 Give kudos and encouragement
🏃‍♀️ Keep yourself motivated to get out the door

Some weeks you might be near the top. Other weeks you might be further down. It really doesn’t matter.

Every mile counts. Every run is progress. And every runner is part of the journey.

Join the Great Welsh Marathon Strava Club and let’s train together!

DEADLINE LOOMING!
Those Great Welsh Marathon runners targeting the AbbottWMM World Championships must submit their result tomorrow!

One of the great things about signing up for a race is that it can inspire those you love.

Some photos don't just capture a moment, they take you right back to it.

The cheers from the crowds. 👏
The steady rhythm of the runners👟
The smell of fresh coffee, finish-line food and Sunday morning air. ☕🌿
The buzz of anticipation, determination and celebration.

One photo, and suddenly you're back on race day.

It's the volunteers encouraging every runner, the spectators ringing cowbells and clapping until their hands hurt, and the incredible community spirit that makes the Great Welsh Marathon Events so special.

This is why we do it!

Who else can hear the cheers just by looking at this photo? 💙

Why not give your running a goal between races?

Our virtual events could be the perfect way to keep your motivation high, your training purposeful and momentum going — with no race day pressure.

✅ Choose when + where you run
✅ Set yourself a meaningful target
✅ Test your pacing, fuelling + mindset
✅ Challenge yourself at your own level
🏅 And yes… there’s a medal!

Your next finish line doesn’t have to be at a traditional race. It can be anywhere you choose.

Age is just a number when determination leads the way. 💙

We were proud to welcome Ronald Cattle to the Great Welsh Marathon Events.

Who's inspiring you to lace up your running shoes?

Meet one of our incredible participants, who celebrated 14 months sober while taking on our Great Welsh Marathon Events.

Choosing to lace up your trainers, set a goal and cross a finish line takes commitment, resilience and courage. We're proud that our events bring together people from all walks of life, each with their own reason for running.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, raising money for charity, or proving something to yourself, every finish line tells a story worth celebrating.
