Rocky at 50 Run - Wales

The Rocky at 50 Run is a themed event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic film. Held at Dare Valley Country Park in Wales, the event takes place on well-maintained footpaths that are suitable for road running shoes. The course features views of the surrounding countryside and runs through the park's landscaped areas.

Participants can choose from several distance options:

  • 3 km
  • 5 km
  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon
  • Marathon
  • 50 km
  • Ultra Marathon

The event is structured as a 7-hour time challenge, allowing participants to control their own distance by completing multiple laps. Each full lap is approximately 7 km (4.37 miles), though this may be adjusted to a 3.28-mile loop based on course conditions. For younger runners or those seeking shorter distances, turn points and partial laps are available to meet specific distance requirements.

Finishers who complete at least 3 km receive a themed medal. Additional distance pins are provided for those who reach half-marathon, marathon, or ultra-marathon distances. The event provides an aid station at the start and finish of each lap, offering water, sweet and savoury snacks, and ice cream. Facilities at the venue include toilets, free parking, and a cafe located near the race headquarters. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
