Margam Trail Races 2026

This trail half marathon is based at Margam Park in South Wales, using the East Gate Car Park at Margam rather than the park’s main entrance. The half marathon starts at 09:00, with a 10k race following at 10:00, a race-morning setup built around two off-road distances. Entry includes parking, electronic timing, medical cover, checkpoints, a marked route, free race photography, and a finisher medal. The route is strong trail running inside the park, with the race HQ reached from the eastern side via the East Gate off the A48, shown locally as the Forest School entrance. Drivers coming from Cardiff or Bridgend use the M4 toward Port Talbot, leave at Junction 38, then follow the A48 toward Margam while ignoring the main park entrance. The event is aimed at regular trail runners as well as people stepping up to the half marathon distance, with an experienced race team handling registration, course marking, timing, and finish-line logistics.
