About running.wales
Who writes running.wales, what the site covers, and how to get a correction made when a path, a car park or a river crossing has changed on the ground.
running.wales is my attempt to provide guides and reviews of my experience of running the roads and trails around Cymru. Most of what's here comes from south Wales, as that's where I live and run, but I'm working on expanding the site content to cover Eryri and north Wales in the future.
Who writes it
James Prosser - Editor
A regular runner working through the Welsh roads and trails one route at a time. Faster on the road than in the hills, which is the wrong way round for where I live. Everything on this site is somewhere I've actually run.
- Ironman Wales finisher
- Sub 3:00 marathon
- 50 mile ultra podium
Getting in touch
If something here is wrong - a path that's been fenced off, a car park that's closed, a river crossing that's no longer sensible - tell me. Corrections from people who were standing there beat anything I can check from a desk.
Fixes go in on the page itself and the "updated" date moves with them, so you can see how old a route description is before you trust it. Email hello@running.wales.
A note on safety
Always be careful when running, but be especially careful when running remote trails. Welsh weather can change in minutes, and routes I've run with no problems can change severely over time. Plan from these pages but don't navigate by them, and always use your best judgement.
