The Loop Ultra

Immerse yourself in the remote, wild beauty of the Cambrian Mountains at The Loop Ultra on Saturday, October 10, 2026, a challenging 32-mile trail running adventure that explores the less-trodden paths of Mid Wales. Starting and finishing at the eco-friendly Camp Plas nature retreat, this exclusive, capped event guides you through a stunning loop of ancient trails, forest tracks, and high ridgelines around Lake Vyrnwy, offering breathtaking views towards the Shropshire Hills and southern Snowdonia. With a generous 14-hour cutoff and a fully marked course supported by rangers, the event is designed to be both a demanding test for experienced ultra runners and an achievable, unforgettable goal for those stepping up to the distance. The weekend transforms into a vibrant festival of outdoor living, featuring pre-race BBQs, post-race live music, wild swimming, and even a mobile sauna, all fostering a unique community spirit deep in the Welsh countryside. Your entry supports this sustainable ethos and includes bespoke Welsh-crafted trophies, well-stocked checkpoints, and the profound satisfaction of conquering a truly spectacular and secluded route. Secure one of only 100 spots for an autumn adventure where the journey is as rewarding as the finish line, and the camaraderie around the firepit is as memorable as the miles on the trail.
