The Challenges

Ring O' Fire

Ring O' Fire is a coastal ultra marathon which takes runners on an extraordinary 135 mile journey around the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales. The epic foot race is staged over three consecutive days and follows the rugged and spectacular Anglesey Coastal Path.

Almost the entire coastline of Anglesey has been designated an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty". Set against the dramatic backdrop of Snowdonia mountain range, runners will challenge themselves in some of the most awe inspiring coastal scenery in the British Isles.

Beauty aside, the extreme distance and variable terrain has sealed the race's reputation as one of the most challenging ultra marathons in the British Isles.

Sign-up to the sixth edition of the race which takes place 1-3 September 2017.

Firelighter

For the first time in the event's history we are offering runners the chance to run Day 1 of the Ring O' Fire as a separate race. If you prefer a single stage race over a shorter distance this may be the race for you. This 35.7 mile race is a very challenging ultra marathon in its own right. We call it the Firelighter!

Sign-up to the first edition of the race which takes place 1 September 2017.

The Ring Of Fire

Love is A Burning Thing
And it Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire

What do people say about us?

"Can I just say a massive thank you to the team who took care of me last night. I have very hazy memories of what happened! I just remember looking for the damn book for nearly an hour ??!But most of all I'd like to thank Chris Parry and Sue Mansfield for making sure I got to the checkpoint safe. I really feel bad for slowing you guys down but I am really grateful."
