Brenig Way 50k Trail
The Brenig Way 50k Trail is a 50 km trail event that follows a marked regional footpath through upland scenery in North Wales. The route begins at Green Lane Car Park in Corwen, follows the Dee Valley signage, crosses toward the A5 in Conwy county, climbs into Clocaenog Forest and reaches the shores of Llyn Brenig before finishing on the dam. Total ascent is 1450 m.
Participants must navigate using the existing Brenig Way waymarkers, a provided GPX file and an event map. The course offers a mixture of terrain including country lanes, technical climbs and descents, grassy riverside paths and forest tracks. There are three checkpoints with refreshments at Glan yr Afon (11 km), Clocaenog Forest (24 km) and Cyfylliog Village (37 km).
There are two start groups based on estimated finish time. The event is electronically timed and each runner will be given a GPS tracker. Mandatory kit includes a waterproof jacket and trousers, a spare base layer top, hat and gloves, a whistle, the provided map, a fully charged mobile phone and at least 500 ml of water at the start.
