The Loop Ultra

About this event

The Loop Ultra winds through the tranquil Vyrnwy Valley in mid-Wales, where wooded hillsides meet open moorland and the River Vyrnwy cuts through ancient countryside. This 50-kilometre route tackles 1,482 metres of climbing across technical terrain that rewards experienced runners with a proper challenge. The course explores quieter corners of Welsh hill country, passing old stone bridges and isolated farmland before climbing into the uplands. Dolanog itself sits peacefully beside the river, its small waterfall adding to the village's charm. Nearby Lake Vyrnwy, a Victorian reservoir surrounded by forests, offers a scenic spot for post-race recovery, while the southern edges of Snowdonia lie within reach for those making a weekend of it.
