Hateful Eight - 8 mile day race

About this event

The Hateful Eight brings runners to the rugged trails around Coytrahen in South Wales for a challenging 8-mile winter race. Set in early March when the Welsh hillsides are still raw and unpredictable, this event suits seasoned trail runners looking for a proper test of their winter fitness. The compact distance means it's fast and intense rather than an all-day affair, perfect for those who want to push their pace on technical terrain. With a name that hints at the tough conditions runners might face, this race embraces the gritty side of trail running. The Bridgend area offers a mix of exposed ridges and sheltered valleys, giving participants varied terrain to navigate. It's the kind of race where the weather often becomes part of the challenge.
