Event overview

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a first-time racer, this annual event attracts runners from across the UK and beyondβ€”ready to take on the stunning Elan Valley landscapes! Rhayader Round The Lakes 30km and 10km road races have been based in Rhayader, Powys in the heart of Wales for over 40 years and our races are still run by a whole bunch of marvellous volunteers. The 30km race runs through the picturesque countryside of the Elan Valley, over one of the most scenic courses in the British Isles. Please note that the route is challenging and exposed to the weather especially on the higher parts of the route. The 10km route takes you out to the Elan Valley and back to the town. For both races, roads will be open during the race.

This event is part of Rhayader Round the Lakes.
