Scare Bear Run 2026 - Wales

Scare Bear Run 2026 is organised by Saturn Too Limited and takes place at Dare Valley Country Park, Aberdare, CF44 7PS. The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and is held under UK Athletics rules. It is offered as a seven hour Time Challenge that allows participants to choose how many laps to run.

The minimum recognised distance for a finisher is 3km, which forms part of a lap. A full lap measures 4.37 miles or 7km, though this may change to a 3.28 mile loop depending on course conditions. The lap includes 3km and 5km turn points to support adherence to UK Athletics age restrictions. Standard lap counts are three laps for a half marathon, six for a marathon, and seven or more for an ultra. A 50km option is available.
