2026 Gower Marathon
The Gower Marathon is a tough 44km coastal trail race around Britain's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on cliff paths above Rhossili Bay and Worm's Head. It starts and finishes at Oxwich Bay and follows a single off-road loop along the Wales Coast Path, with about 1,044m of total ascent.
Running the Gower Marathon in November means tackling that dramatic cliff-top trail while the autumn light paints the beaches and Rhossili Bay in soft golds — and with the summer crowds gone, the wild coastline feels all yours. Afterward, warm up in a Mumbles pub with a bowl of Welsh cawl and a pint of local ale, a proper end to a day on the peninsula.
