Welsh Castles Relay 2024
Saturday, 8 June 2024 Wales
The Welsh Castles Relay is a 2 day, 20 stage, 209 mile staggered relay stage race, held mostly on road but with many hills and mountains on route from Caernarfon to Cardiff with an overnight stay in Newtown, organised by Les Croupiers Running Club Cardiff.
Teams compete in one of four categories – Open, Ladies, Vets and Business House. Races within races are also a key feature as individuals try to bag individual stage wins and teams battle it out for both the overall category awards and the special mountain stage prizes. There are six mountain stages (three on each day) in all and three team mountain stages prizes: the Kings (Open), Queens (Ladies) and Monarchs (Vets).
We have been allocated 2 teams for this years event. Please indicate whether you want to participate by registering below. Further details of logistics and travel arrangements will be communicated seperately.
