Pendine Sands Races

Laugharne, United Kingdom • 5 Apr 2026

The Pendine Sands Races, held at Pendine Beach in Wales, offer a unique running experience on firm, flat sand famously used for land speed records. The event features multiple distances: 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, Marathon, and a new Ultra of 32.8 miles, all run on a well-marked out-and-back course along the beach. The firm sand makes it ideal for barefoot running.

Water stations are available along the route, but the event is cup-free, so runners must bring reusable cups. The race atmosphere is inclusive, welcoming runners and walkers of all abilities, with bespoke medals for all finishers and trophies for category winners. Race timing depends on tide schedules.
