2025

Welsh Championship

Following a consultation of members about the future of the Welsh Championship we have decided to move from the Series style championship to a single race Championship for Short/Medium distance, and a separate Championship for Long distance races, similar to the new format of the UKA British Championship. 

These races will alternate between the north and south of the country.  In 2025 it's the turn for the north to host the Long with Welsh 1000m Peaks race and the south to host the Short/Medium with Waun Fach.
