Ring O’ Fire 130

The backbone of our event series since 2012 and beloved by many, the race has now evolved into a non-stop endurance race.

Step into the extraordinary Ring O’ Fire, a non-stop, 130-mile endurance race that will take you on an incredible journey around the stunning Isle of Anglesey / Ynys Môn, North Wales.

Starting and finishing at Breakwater Country Park, Holyhead, runners will compete a full circumnavigation of the enigmatic island. For the determined, this race offers the challenge of pushing on without stopping, while others can take advantage of designated indoor checkpoints to rest or sleep along the way.

Push your limits and immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of the Anglesey Coastal Path, racing continuously through both day and night. With increased cut-off times, revamped checkpoint locations, and enhanced support, this great adventure offers runners up to 55 hours to complete the course.

This race requires an element of self-sufficiency, with checkpoints located every 15 to 20 miles. Our resolute marshals will be there to support you every step of the way, ensuring your safety and cheering you on. The camaraderie among runners is unparalleled, many participants form lasting friendships through shared experiences and mutual encouragement. 

Professional medical support will be available throughout the race to ensure your well-being. Live tracking will be provided for both runner safety and to keep friends and family updated on your progress. Additionally, professional event photography will capture your memorable moments as you tackle the course.

Almost the entire coastline of Anglesey is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, presenting breathtaking views set against the dramatic backdrop of the Snowdonia / Eryri Mountain range. This is not just a race; it’s a profound journey of mind and spirit, testing your endurance through some of the most awe-inspiring coastal scenery in the British Isles.

The distance and relentless nature of this non-stop race make Ring O’ Fire one of the most demanding ultra marathons in the British Isles. 

Are you ready to face the fire, conquer the coast, and forge unforgettable memories?
