Race the Train takes place alongside as far as practicable the route taken by the Talyllyn Railway on its journey to Abergynolwyn and back. This unique event is a must for all multi - terrain runners. Many competitors return regularly to try and better their performance or just beat that train while others have run nearly every year since the races started. Most serious runners have heard about it either from their friends, TV, or the press so if you haven’t already competed perhaps this year is the time to attempt it. These events also give you the additional challenge of not only racing your fellow competitor’s but also the Train. Having been televised world-wide on several occasions we have attracted many runners from abroad coming from as far away as New Zealand, Australia, America, Hong Kong, Africa etc. There are four race's on the day: Rotary ChallengeThis race is 14 miles. The minimum age for this race is 18 on race day The Quarry Challenge 10K. The Dolgoch Challenge is 5.5 miles The Tyllwynhen Challenge is 3.5 miles For entry details go to www.racethetrain.co.uk
