Dusk to Dawn - Bridgend

Dusk To Dawn is a 12-hour multi-loop running event held on 18 July 2026 at Bridgend Miniature Railway in Bridgend, Mid Glamorgan, South Wales. The event uses three 10 mile looped routes; participants attempt to complete as many loops as possible within the 12-hour limit. The overall winner is the person who records the most loops and greatest mileage. Entry is restricted to those aged 18 or older and places are limited to 30 runners. Entry options listed include standard entry and entry with a t-shirt; entries are administered through SiEntries and require an account.

The course is mixed terrain with limited road sections, several hills, and a downhill forestry trail that can be technical in places. Each loop requires a card stamp at base camp and participants receive route instructions before setting off. The route will be marked with flags and glow sticks; a GPX file may be provided but organisers advise not to rely on it. On-site provisions listed for entrants include parking, toilet facilities, hot and cold drinks and snacks, medical support, a bespoke medal or trophy, a swag bag, and event volunteers. Volunteers may be eligible for a free race entry. The event is organised by Mad Running Junkies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
