200 Miles. One coast. One epic adventure:

There are easier ways to see the west coast of Wales. We wouldn’t recommend them.

The West Coast 200 is a 200-mile ultra marathon following the Wales Coast Path from the extraordinary village of Portmeirion to the smallest city in Britain, St Davids.

One continuous journey. One incredible stretch of Wales. And one very long way to go.

For the full length of the course, you’ll follow the Wales Coast Path — through some of the most spectacular, remote and downright beautiful landscapes Wales has to offer.

The West Coast 200 follows the Wales Coast Path for the entire route, creating a unique 200-mile journey through the western edge of Wales.

Cut offs

This is a non stop race, which means we will be bucking things up with a strict 120 hours to complete the race. Once the clock starts it does not stop until you reach the finish line. We can not stress enough that 120 hours is a lot of time to complete the challenge. There will be 3 optional sleep stations along the course and all runners must make the 100 mile marker before the clock hits 55 hours (plenty of time).

Checkpoints

Checkpoints will be approximately every 25 miles and we do allow runners to have their own crew – although it is possible to run un-crewed and we will take extra special care of you.

Of course the checkpoints will include all the goodies you’d expect from a long race – warm food, warm drinks, cold food, cold drinks, medical attention and a morale boosting hug if that get’s you moving forward again. Got a dietary requirement? No problem, just let us know and we will accommodate you.

Drop bags

Drop bags are extremely important for this event and our personalised system will allow all runner to access their drop bag at each and every checkpoint. Meaning runners must pick and choose wisely as to what they will need for each section of the course. Don’t worry, there are shops along the route (which you are allowed to use).
Drop bag limits / dimensions – 45 cm x 75.5 cm x 45cm; Volume: 132 litres. Plenty of space. Any bags larger than these dimensions will not be transported. Plastic boxes or suitcases will not be allowed. Each runner is entitled to one drop bag for the duration of the event, which will go to every checkpoint. Just to confirm you can only bring one drop bag with you to the event (which is different to previous years).

Wait… It’s a point to point event… How do you get home?

We appreciate St Davids isn’t exactly a huge a city but it is a city nonetheless. Don’t you worry though, we’ve got you covered. The day before the event, we’ll be offering a shuttle bus service from St Davids (Finish Line) to Portmeirion (Start Line). Leave your car in St Davids.

You’re travelling internationally? How do you get to Wales?

Well my friend, Wales is pretty accessible – we’d recommend searching for flights to either London, Bristol, Birmingham or Manchester. Portmeirion, which is the location for the start of the event is well connected with a train station and hotel options. St Davids is the UK’s smallest city and has everything you would need for finishing up a 200 miler.

Can people watch you in real time?

Hell yeah! Each runner will receive a tracker at the start of the race and all your friends, family and complete strangers can watch live online. Dot watching at it’s finest! The tracking link will be made available the day before the event.

What race bling do you get?

• The BRAND NEW West Wales 200 Belt Buckle (for finishers only)
• West Coast 200 Map Print
• BRAND NEW WEST COAST 200 Medal (for finishers only)

I’ve run 3 times with Pegasus Ultra Running and each time I’ve felt so supported, looked after and encouraged. From personal touches like a phonecall from the RD, no cut offs, no judgement. All runners/walkers welcomed. The best marshal’s and incredible aid stations. sign me up for more next year I’m in

Issy Evans

I don’t know where to start. It’s the first time I’ve left a review for something that has impacted my life so much. I can’t recommend this event enough. The organisation is outstanding. The support from the race director Rhys is unbelievable. The lasting memories I’ve made during the event leave me lost for words. If you’re looking for a 200mile Ultra Marathon, don’t look anywhere else. I genuinely believe the support these guys offer is another level to anyone else, they will fill you with confidence and surround you by support.

Matt Flynn

Fantastic event that is totally made by the superb organisation and the amazing crew of volunteers.
The Epona is a tough event which you would expect for a 100 miler but the payoff is out of this world.
The views on the course are simply breathtaking but this pales next to the complete support of Rhys and the rest of the crew. I felt special at every single moment of this race right from the pre race phonecall, registration and pre race briefing through every checkpoint and right to the finish line, nothing was too much for the crew no matter the time of the day.
