With over 20 years of loyal support of the Village Bakery we continue to bring you this fast, flat and chip-timed half. Starting on Dunster Road and finishing at 'The Club House' Oak Road on Wrexham Industrial Estate, this classic race is popular with some of the fastest runners in the region as well as those tackling the distance for the first time. It is a well marshalled course with plenty of support and drink stations.

£300.00 cash for 1st, £200.00 for 2nd & £100.00 for 3rd Open male and female as well as cash prizes for 1st place in Vet Categories.  Team prize for 1st Male and Female Teams as well as the tasty traditional Welsh baked goodies for all finishers courtesy of the Village Bakery Wrexham. Look out for the 2019 new bespoke finishers medal. We will have temporary road closures and an increased parking for the 2019 event.This race always sells out well in advance so register early.
