Saturn Running - Cwmdare
Cwmdare, United Kingdom • 15 Mar 2026
Event overview
The Dashing Dog Charity Run is scheduled for March 2026 at Dare Valley Country Park, Aberdare, CF44 7PS. The event is a 7-hour Time Challenge that allows participants to choose how many laps to run. The event raises funds for local dog rehoming charities: a £2.00 surcharge on every race entry goes to those charities, an optional £3.00 doggie pin donation is matched by the organiser (resulting in £6.00 per pin for charities), and 10% of race profits are donated when the entry-only option is chosen.
