Event overview

The atmosphere on race day for the Ty Gwyn Abersoch 10K and Elvins Abersoch 3K Beach Race is exceptional.

A real 'feel good' event for both those taking part and those supporting, with big crowds lining the streets in the village and the finish line on Abersoch beach. Professional commentary, live music and the all important beach bar.

Come for the day or make it a weekend, you'll be buzzing afterwards for weeks to come!

I love everything about this series. Friendly atmosphere, large crowds around the course, beautiful scenery and the finish is on the beach. They all combine to make each race special. Superbly organised and great finisher medals. Rhian R

Stayed the weekend, very well organised event, and huge numbers of spectators cheering me on from start to finish. Wife and kids also had a great day on the beach rounding it off as a perfect day. Alun V

A race I always look forward to as the course is so unique due to its challenging terrain, spectacular views and memorable finish along the beach! Jane E

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
