Saturday 21st June 2025 5k to 50k
parkrun 'The Longest Day' is about completing up to 10 different parkrun 5k courses during one day.
5k to 50k, or anything in between on the longest day of the year.
The date is Saturday 21st June 2025.
The start time is 4.a.m at Pwllheli.
Penrhyn is the only 5k that will be an officially timed parkrun as that is where we will be at 9.a.m.
You will need to record your own times at the other 9 courses to show that to show you have completed the challenge.
By completing all 10 different parkruns you will have covered 50k and become a parkrun ultra runner.
This map shows the route that we will be taking, but with 14 parkruns now in North Wales, there are loads of options to create your own route.
Hafan Pwllheli 4am Start
Newborough Forest 6am Start
Nant y Pandy 7.30am Start
Penryhn 9.00am Start
Conwy 10.30 am Start
Pont y Bala 12.30p.m. Start
LLangollen 2.30pm Start
Ruthin 4pm Start
Greenfield 6pm Start
Prestatyn 8pm Start
The route has been planned to include time for travel between each parkrun.
All runs allow plenty of time for all to finish, we will have a sweeper at each run so no-one gets left behind.
We are hoping to have a mini bus and cars/drivers to get between the different parkruns but all this is still in the planning stage, any help from anybody who wants to get involved would be greatly appreciated.
2025 is the first ever running of the Longest Day in North Wales and I hope to make this a yearly event.
This format has taken place previously in London and other parts of the UK, also in New Zealand and Australia.
In June 2024 over 1000 people ran at one of the above events. It would be great for other parkrunners to join us at two or more of these venues, If you finish your usual parkrun, have a look at the schedule and join us to do another one, two or more! See how far you can go!
If you do two you've hit the double, if you finish three you'll have hit the triple, if you do all ten you will be a parkrun ultra finisher!
We are still in the planning stage for this event, anyone who would like to help with the planning of the North Wales version or anybody from any other regions who would like to get the event going in their area, please contact us.
If you have questions about the plans or want to get involved either taking part or helping, feel free to send us a message. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
