Founded in 1963, this event has grown to be the largest cross country competition in Wales and the South West of England regularly attracting well in excess of 1,000 Athletes. A packed schedule will provide competition for all age groups ranging from Under 11 Juniors right through to Seniors and Masters.

Leading Clubs from East, South and West Wales and South West England are well represented which ensures the competition is of a very high standard with many of the best Athletes from the various regions taking part.
