Event overview

24 hours - South....along the Offa's Dyke Footpath. How far will you get?

You can walk, run or a bit of both - the task is simply to endure, and see how far you can get as the clock counts down. For those who want to take part whilst only walking, then an earlier start and finish option of 9am is available, to allow for checkpoint and event management.

Starting on the North Wales Coast at Prestatyn, runners will journey South along the National Trail, with well-stocked feed stations and break options along the way - until the 24 hours are up and a halt is brought to proceedings - with GPS trackers allowing your progress to be monitored and determine your finish position on the trail at exactly 24 hours. There will be support checkpoints with indoor facilities, where there'll be provisions and your drop bags for you, but all participants must have their support driver and vehicle, to collect you at the end of your race. Your support driver/team can meet you at any point and as frequently as you like throughout the event.
