The EV5K is our shorter-distance event, set in the beautiful Elan Valley and offering a warm welcome and an accessible 5K format.

NEW FOR 2026 our 5km race will be a DOWNHILL RACE!

The 5km race will for the first time be a fast paced down hill run using the Elan Valley TRAIL.

Expect stunning scenery, supportive marshals, and an event that puts people and place at its heart.

Whether it’s your first race or your fiftieth, the EV5K downhill offers a chance to run, connect, and be part of something special in the Elan Valley.
