The Hateful 8 Loopy Ultra

Aberkenfig, United Kingdom • 20 Mar 2027

The Hateful 8 Ultra Loop

The Hateful 8 Ultra Loop is a looped trail event held on 20 March 2027 at Bridgend Miniature Railway in Aberkenfig, Bridgend, South Wales (CF32 9BZ). The course is described as a loop of approximately 8 to 9 miles that participants repeat as many times as they can within an eight hour time limit.

The format allows runners to aim for a marathon distance, extend into ultra distances, or target a personal distance goal. The event has an age minimum of 18 on the event date. The organiser keeps field sizes deliberately small to encourage a community-oriented atmosphere.

The route includes a steep hill, sections of forestry fire road with open views, and a flowing downhill forestry trail that can be technical underfoot. The organiser notes that there may be additional surprises on course. Entries open 4 May 2026 and close 19 March 2027. Entry pricing is listed in two bands with and without a t-shirt option, and an option to purchase entry protection is available. Registration is handled through the SiEntries system and entries are subject to the event terms and cancellation policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
