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 thirteenth edition of the race which takes place 30th August - 1st September 2024.
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 six leading charities, Bowel Cancer UK, the Stroke Association, the Afghan Sports Trust, Petals Charity, St David's Hospice and Size of Wales.
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.

What do people say about us?
"Dearest Ring O' Fire bods, thank you so much for an epic weekend! That was total nails, and I feel like I've earned every single last one of those 5 UTMB points. Could I just ask the marshalls who were in the half-way checkpoint, if they have my grey Arc'teryx running top? A bloke was running with me for awhile with no waterproof kit (I know. Lol) so I gave it him to wear. He then dnf'd at that half-way checkpoint. I was told by another runner he had handed it in. It's my favourite running top!! Please, please, please... just let me know if it's amongst the gear and I'll happily pay for the postage for its return. I have a photo if that helps (I just cant seen to upload it to this page). Thank you, Lucie"
