British Red Cross

The British Red Cross and North East Wales Search and Rescue - NEWSAR are working together to stage a revival of an event that last took place in 2005.

The challenge is to complete the last 26 miles of the Offa’s Dyke path from Clwyd Gate to Prestatyn, following the Clwydian Mountains, either walking or running!

Follow a series of sharp climbs and falls – including the highest point of Moel Fammau at 1,818 feet – until the spectacular view from the Prestatyn Cliffs confirms that the end is in sight. This is a challenging event and should only be undertaken by persons in good health (as per the declaration on the application form).

To find out more or to register vist the British Red Cross web site.
