Scheduled for 1 March 2026, the North Wales Pilgrim Half Marathon starts at Cwt Tatws and finishes in the coastal village of Aberdaron, tracing part of the Wales Coast Path through the peninsula’s wild scenery. The course climbs a total of about 345 m and descends 366 m, touching a highest point of about 81 m above sea level and offering stretches where almost half the route is uphill. There’s no official cut-off time, making this race ideal for both runners and hikers who want to take in the views at their own pace. Entry tiers begin at approximately £28, inclusive of an event T-shirt and medal, with options to enter at higher levels as pricing increases. Fully marked trails, on-route support and post-race local food and drinks round off an event that blends challenge, scenery and community in North Wales.
