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 fourteenth edition of the race which takes place 29th August - 31st August 2025.
Or sign-up as a charity runner and raise money for a great cause! This year we are offering a limited number of charity places and have partnered with five leading charities, Bowel Cancer UK, the Stroke Association, the Afghan Sports Trust, Petals Charity and St David's Hospice.
Free entry* for charity runners - you only pay a £100 registration fee, which is refunded in full, if you attempt the ROF challenge and meet the minimum £500 fundraising target. (*Upon completion of the challenge the charity pays your entry fee from the funds you have raised). See our Charity Runner page for further info.
Firelighter
Since 2017, we have been 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 ninth edition of the race which takes place 29th August 2025.
