Chepstow Running Festival January

The Chepstow Running Festival in January is a winter running event held at Chepstow Racecourse in South Wales. Participants can choose from half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances. This is a mass-participation race designed for runners of all abilities, from casual participants to experienced club athletes. The event begins at 9:30 am, and the racecourse postcode is NP16 6EH. The location provides the event with a distinct character: runners compete within the grounds of a horse-racing venue that annually hosts the Welsh National. Chepstow is situated in Monmouthshire on the tidal River Wye, near the English border, and is the easternmost town in Wales. Though small, with a population under 12,000, it is accessible by road via the M48 and is within reach of Newport, Cardiff, and Bristol.
