Event information

  • What is it?

    WhyWeRun is a unique 250km ultra running event. Not a race, but an event with a greater purpose: runners run for themselves, and for something much bigger than themselves too - a shared goal not only to complete this mammoth distance together, but also to raise crucial funds for mental health charity, bigmoose.

  • When is it?

    15th - 21st September, 2025

  • Where is it?

    St Davids, Wales.

    Taking in parts of the Welsh Coastal path, the route is both challenging but beautiful, with spectacular scenery and wildlife.

  • Distance?

    250km over 5 days, 6,900m elevation. The route is 60% coastal trail, 40% road. The elevation is undulating throughout. Therefore, runners should be accustom to road running and trail running.
