About the Event

Embark on a 40-mile coastal adventure along one of Wales' most stunning trails at the Vale of Glamorgan Ultra Marathon (VOGUM) on Saturday, June 6, 2026. This unique point-to-point challenge follows the beautiful and dramatic Glamorgan Heritage Coast from Porthcawl to Penarth, offering 85% off-road trails with 100% breathtaking sea views. You'll navigate golden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and historical landmarks like Ogmore Castle and its infamous stepping stones, all while soaking in the warm (hopefully!) Welsh summer atmosphere. With a relaxed 07:00 AM start after a fun-filled morning of camaraderie and music, this event is less about cutthroat competition and more about the shared joy of pushing your limits within a supportive community. The VOGUM is renowned for its incredible Pegasus crew, four fully stocked and lively aid stations, and a no-time-limit policy that encourages you to enjoy the journey, chat with locals, and truly savor the adventure. Your entry includes essential support like coach transport from the finish to the start, a famous Pegasus finisher's medal, and comprehensive post-race care. Whether you're an experienced ultra-runner or seeking your first major distance challenge, this event provides the perfect blend of stunning scenery, fantastic organization, and a genuine sense of belonging. Sign up today to toe the line for an unforgettable 40-mile journey along the Welsh coast.
