Castle 2 Castle #Ultra
The Castle 2 Castle Ultra is a long-distance running event over a distance of 32 miles between Welshpool and Chirk. The race starts in the grounds of Powis Estate and finishes at Caffi Wylfa in Chirk. The event headquarters and start are located at Powis Estate / Town Hall, Broad Street, Welshpool, SY21 7JQ, a short walk from several town centre car parks.
The route combines flat, fast paths, undulating public footpaths and some challenging inclines, and it passes sections with notable views. The organiser plans two water and food stations located around 11 miles and 21 miles. Finishers receive a finishers plate and additional goodies at Caffi Wylfa.
Transport options include local parking near the start and an optional coach service from Chirk that allows runners to leave their cars near the finish; coach passengers park free and the finish is a short walk from the coach drop off. The minimum age for entry is 20 years. Prizes are awarded to the top three male and top three female finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
