Ruthin, United Kingdom • 3 Oct 2026
Town to Tower 10k - Ruthin to Moel Famau
Organised by OutFit Personal Fitness Ltd., this event is an uphill only running race of 10 km that starts in the centre of Ruthin and finishes near the Jubilee Tower on Moel Famau. The finish area sits at over 550 metres above sea level.
The route is based in the heart of the town and follows a varied course up into the Clwydian Hills. Participants may walk parts of the course or run competitively; the route provides sustained ascent to the tower and a distinct mountain finish.
Event operations include on-site registration and a race briefing before the start. There is a cut-off point at Bwlch Penbarras corresponding to 5 km on the course. After finishing, runners follow a short walk of about 25 to 35 minutes to Bwlch Penbarras to collect a medal and arrange transport home. A bus ticket option is available for purchase at the event to return to Ruthin and any parked vehicles.
Ruthin is described as sitting beneath the Clwydian Hills and beneath Moel Famau, which frames the course and the race finish near the Jubilee Tower. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
