The Abersoch Coast Trail is a spectacular coastal running event on the Llŷn Peninsula, offering 20K and 10K trail races alongside a 2K junior beach race. Starting and finishing on the golden sands of Abersoch Beach, the event showcases some of the finest coastal scenery in North Wales while providing an unforgettable day of running for all ages.
