The Gwyn Mathew's Rhondda Rollercoaster

About this event

The Gwyn Mathew's Rhondda Rollercoaster lives up to its name with a challenging road route through the rolling valleys of South Wales. Based in Pantygraigwen, this event offers two distances: a 26.5-mile advanced route and a 16-mile intermediate option, both tackling the characteristic climbs and descents of the Rhondda region. Runners can expect proper Welsh hill country — the kind that builds character and tests the legs. It's a road race with trail-worthy terrain, where the undulating landscape provides both the challenge and the reward. The event welcomes those ready to embrace some proper elevation work, making it ideal for runners looking to push their limits on tarmac that feels anything but flat.
