Welsh Castles Relay 10th & 11th June 2023
The Welsh Castles relay is one of the highlights in the WADAC endurance running calendar. A fun-filled 200 mile relay that winds it's way through Wales from Caernarvon Castle in the North to Cardiff Castle in the South. With 65 teams competing being part of the accompanying motorcade of support vehicles can be as much fun as the run itself!
The first leg starts early on Sat 11th June up in Caernarvon and the last leg finishes late afternoon Sunday 12th in Cardiff. You can make it a full weekend event (many of us will be taking Friday 10th June off work so we can travel up together and get into the game early) or join up with the fun for as short or long a period as you wish. At this stage all we need if for you to sign up and commit to running a leg. This is a popular event and the organisers have to limit entries, our aim is to apply for two teams which means we need at least 40 runners plus reserves. It is possible that we might be allowed a third team so if you are interested please register so we have a handle on the level of demand.
In order to do this we need members to show interest and enter via this event registration asap so that we can submit entries well before the closing date which is usually the end of February.
NB this event is only open to first claim members of WADAC.
Don't delay please register today! The £35 fee covers the cost of race entry and includes a commemorative T-shirt from the organisers at the end of your leg.
Further details of things like transport and accommodation will be firmed up at a later stage and will change as your own plans for logistics etc develop. We will similarly be developing ideas for the traditional WADAC team/supporters technical T-shirts and you may want to get yourself a bobble hat too - it can be cold on those Welsh mountains.
All that is to come, at this stage we just need your entry for the event itself.
We recognise there may be some athletes who are ultimately unable to make it to the event (through injury etc) so operate a pool system where substitutions and refunds are possible......early registration helps us all and the actual allocation of race legs and sorting the other logistics will take place nearer the time.
The Welsh Castles relay is organised by Les Croupiers Running Club of Cardiff and full details can be found on their website: Welsh Castles Relay - Les Croupiers Running Club
