Excalibur Trail Races

Excalibur Trail Races takes place in the heart of the Clwydian Range, starting and finishing at Moel Famau and delivering a proper test across some of North Wales’ most iconic trails. With 10km, half marathon, and marathon distances available, each route is designed to challenge you from the first climb to the final descent.

This isn’t a flat or forgiving course. Expect sustained climbs, technical sections, exposed ridgelines, and fast, punishing descents. The terrain is varied throughout, with a mix of wide paths, single track, and uneven ground underfoot. It’s the kind of course that demands respect—whether you’re racing it or just aiming to get round.

What sets Excalibur apart is the balance between challenge and atmosphere. On the one hand, it’s a tough day out that will test your legs, your head, and your ability to keep moving when it gets uncomfortable. On the other, it’s a welcoming and supportive environment, with a strong community feel from start to finish.

The event is fully marked and marshalled, with aid stations available on the longer routes. Everything is set up to give you the best possible experience on the day, while still keeping the focus on the trails and the challenge ahead.

Excalibur Trail Races is open to a wide range of abilities, but it’s important to come prepared. This is not an entry-level trail jog—it’s a proper trail race in a rugged landscape. If you’re looking for something that will push you, reward you with incredible views, and leave you with a real sense of achievement, this is it.

No shortcuts. No easy miles. Just you, the terrain, and the job of getting it done.
