Join Phoenix Running South Wales at the Hedgie Hog Jog on Sunday, March 21, 2027, set against the scenic backdrop of Barry Sidings Country Park. This flexible timed event offers runners and walkers alike an opportunity to challenge themselves along a picturesque out-and-back course stretching 5.3 kilometers (or approximately 3.28 miles) through the Taff Trail. The day begins near Barry Sidings Cafe where participants can choose their own adventure, whether it's completing one lap or pushing for multiple laps in a full 7-hour time limit. The route winds down to Pontypridd and back, offering stunning views of the lakes and passing by aid stations that provide essential hydration and energy boosts. Participants have the freedom to start whenever they like between 8:30am and registration opening at 7:30am ensures you can arrive early if needed. The course itself is entirely tarmac or pavement with a modest elevation gain/loss of around 50 meters per lap, making it accessible for all levels of fitness. Phoenix Running South Wales prides itself on rewarding every finisher with a bespoke medal and other race bling to commemorate the achievement. However, recognizing that costs can be prohibitive, they are introducing an entry option without the medal starting at £20. This allows runners to enjoy the event's amenities such as same-day results, digital BIBs, and athletes profiles while keeping expenses low. With staggered starts available throughout the morning and afternoon, this Hedgie Hog Jog offers a unique blend of flexibility and community spirit. Whether you're looking for a casual run or planning an ambitious multi-lap challenge, Barry Sidings Country Park is ready to welcome you on March 21st. Spaces are limited, so don't delay in securing your spot today!
