Firstly, can we take this opportunity to thank you for participating in the inaugural Pembrokeshire Trail Run. We can’t wait to see you on the start line.
As our valued athletes, many of you return year after year and know our events very well. For this, we cannot thank you enough.
With two distances on offer (25k and 14k), we're sure it's going to be an incredible day for all involved!
You may have many questions about how the day will run, and this race pack will answer these for you. Ensuring the safety of all in attendance is of paramount importance so please read it through carefully.
We hope that you have a great time and enjoy the day—a huge thank you again for your continued support.
See you on race day!
The AWE Team
The National Coastal Path of Wales will be used for the run sections. Please be aware of any warning signs of danger which are put in place by the coastal path authority. It is mandatory to stay on the path at all times unless directed otherwise. We are very lucky to be granted the relevant permissions to stage the race in the Pembrokeshire National Park, so please help us by reducing the environmental impact as much as possible and take all your litter home.
The run will take place on a multi-terrain surface, so please take this into account and wear suitable footwear. Please ensure you stay hydrated throughout the course. Water will be supplied at the 4 feed stations across the course.
Please note the course can be altered mid-race, should conditions dictate.
Racers Responsibility
Please be advised all marshals are volunteering their time for free and without their assistance we would not be able to put the race on. Please respect marshals. Any abusive behaviour or language will result in immediate disqualification.
It is your responsibility to know the route and to ensure your own safety on course. Marshals are there purely for reference and directional purposes and are not permitted to stop traffic.
Timing & Race Numbers
At registration, you will be given your timing chip. Your chip is from the start of the race until the finish.
Throughout the course, there will be cut-offs where the athletes will need to reach to be able to continue the race. If you arrive just prior to a cut-off time, it will be at the discretion of the marshal as to whether you are fit to continue.

There will be numerous cut-offs on the course. Should you miss the cut-off, you will be picked up by a sweep vehicle.
Parking
There will be parking at both startlines, however we don't have transport back after the event. There is bus available, which you would need to pre-book to get you to the startline.
If there's something you need to know that isn't covered in this race pack head over to our Frequently Asked Questions page by clicking the link below.
If you are not taking the bus, please ensure that you are parked/dropped off at the race start meeting point no later than 6am 25k/8am 14k.
We will hold the presentation at approximately 9.30am for the 25k and 10.30am for the 14k. We will issue the prizes once all top 3 in the category have completed the event.
If the weather does not permit this, we will send out the trophies free of charge. If you are unable to stay for the presentation but would like your trophy, we can post it out after the event with a £5 P&P charge.
Bag drop is available at both start locations. Your bags will be ready to collect at the finish line once you have finished the race.
Please make sure you put your race number onto the tag provided and attach it to your bag. Your bag will be brought back to the finish line.
Every effort will be made to keep your bag secure, but you will leave items at your own risk. The race organisers cannot be held responsible for any items left behind.

Any lost property that has been found will be returned to our HQ. Please contact us after the event to retrieve any items. Local collection will be available, or P&P (postage fees will apply).
Property will be kept for 7 days and if not claimed, will be disposed of.
If you DNF en-route, you will need to wait at the next water entry point with a Marshal. Once all athletes have passed this point, you will be collected and returned to the finish line.
