Run Up The Valley

Welcome…

‘Run Up the Valley’ is a virtual, fun run that hopes to encompass history, landscapes and social running in one small package.

Celebrating the legend of Tydfil, who was the late daughter of King Brychan, you will be running Up the Valley from Saturday 19th to Monday July 5th.  As part of the event you’ll receive a locally made pottery medal – a replica of the Celtic cross, which still stands today on the site of Tydfil’s church in Merthyr Tydfil town centre.

There is no set distance nor will we need proof of your run! We’ are quite relaxed and take your word for it!

Runners will have the option to pick up their medal, in person, from St Tydfil’s church on Saturday 19th of June between 10- 12 or  or be sent their medal in the post after the event.
