The Celtic Ultra

The Celtic Trail Races are 3 long distance linear running races crossing the Afan Forest and Rhigos mountain range on the incredible high level trail, the 'Coed Morgannwg Way'. On your journey through ancient woodlands you will pass hidden reservoirs, towering wind turbines and unrivalled views of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The route culminates in a dramatic, fast descent into a lively and festive finish at Dare Valley Country Park. The Northern section of the Coed Morgannwg Way is a dramatic, rugged route following ancient tracks of Celtic origin, with amazing views across the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountain, South Wales Valleys and South Wales Coast. The route mainly follows wide forest tracks on some of South Wales' most hidden trails. There are sharp climbs, long fast descents, river crossings and sections of single track all with a wild and remote feel. The paths here, while fast and runnable, feel a little less travelled.
