The Gower 50 mile Ultra marathon, held by Run Walk Crawl is a beautiful scenic route around the Gower, South Wales, UK.
This epic journey takes in the sites of the Gower, starting at the Mumbles Cricket ground, heading anti clockwise down to Blackpill…Onto Gowerton, then Penclawdd, then hitting the Gower including Rhosilli Bay, Oxwich Bay, Caswell and Langland to name a few.
the First 17 miles were flat ish, then sand dunes, beaches, hills, steps, trees, mud, bogs and much more were thrown at you.
I suffered with stomach issues and after this being my 7th Ultra in 7 months I feel this was one too many this year. But…
I did love the event perfect weather, and amazing marshals and runners made for a lush day out at the beach.

cracking watch, I only did the 33 (well 35 with a detour or 2) but like yourself I grew up on the edge of the Gower (Loughor) so had to be done … I'd like to think the local knowledge would have led to less of a shock as to the terrain but as a plodding road runner it did take me by surprise. But maybe, just maybe, that was a recce … but back to the road again now (with perhaps a bit of X country for variety)
Great video of a cracking day. Those views were spectacular (we were so lucky with the weather 😎)
Loved to video, a chance to relive the adventure a week on! It was a fab event. Nice to chat to you at the start, well done on your race 👏
Brilliant stuff, really enjoyed that!
I did the 34 miles, so was able to re-live my experience through your video (risking PTSD 😂) you gave awesome coverage of the route 👍 it’s made me want to have another go next year! Hope to see you out there sometime. Simon.
Such a great event and even better to meet you and get a mention.
