Since its inception in 2017, the Firelighter has carved its path along the dramatic northwest section of the Anglesey Coastal Path, reaching the historic copper port of Amlwch. This year, the race extends further along the rugged coast to the picturesque seaside village of Moelfre, making it just shy of 50 miles.
The Firelighter is a non-stop, nearly 50-mile endurance race that will take you on an incredible journey from Breakwater Country Park in Holyhead to Moelfre. This challenge provides a taste of what it takes to tackle the full Ring O’ Fire 130, while navigating the most demanding technical sections of the northwest coastal path. The Firelighter is a formidable race and should not be underestimated.
With checkpoints located every 15 to 20 miles, runners will need to demonstrate an element of self-sufficiency. This great adventure offers up to 15 hours to complete the course, with increased cut-off times, revamped checkpoint locations, and enhanced support. You’ll benefit from professional medical support throughout the race and live tracking for both runner safety and to keep your friends and family updated on your progress. Additionally, professional event photography will capture your memorable moments as you tackle the course.
Join us for the Firelighter and experience the thrill, challenge, and camaraderie of this extraordinary race.
