Join #TeamStroke for the Ring O’ Fire Ultra Marathon Challenge on 2 September 2022, a coastal route across an extraordinary 135-mile journey around the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales.
Join #TeamStroke in one of the toughest challenges yet!
Ring O' Fire is a coastal ultra-marathon that takes runners on an extraordinary 135-mile journey around the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales. The epic foot race is staged over three consecutive days and follows the rugged and spectacular Anglesey Coastal Path.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Snowdonia mountain range, runners will challenge themselves in some of the most awe-inspiring coastal scenery in the British Isles. Beauty aside, the extreme distance and variable terrain has sealed the race's reputation as one of the most challenging ultra-marathons in the British Isles.
There is also the offer to run Day One of the Ring O’ Fire as a separate race - the Firelighter. If you prefer a single-stage race over a shorter distance, this may be the race for you. This 35.7-mile race is still a very challenging ultra-marathon in its own right.
Registration and fundraising options
Charity sponsorship - you pay a registration fee, do lots of fundraising and we’ll cover the cost of your event place! If you attempt the event and meet the minimum fundraising target, your registration fee will be refunded by the Ring O’ Fire challenge organisers.
Firelighter (35.7 miles / 1-day challenge): Registration fee £50 with a minimum fundraising target of £250, not including Gift Aid.
Ring O’ Fire (135 miles / 3-day challenge): Registration fee £100 with a minimum fundraising target of £500, not including Gift Aid.
Self-fund - you pay the full cost of the event place - fundraise whatever you want, with no set target or deadline, and there’s no cost at all to the charity!
Firelighter: £89
Ring O’ Fire: £245
Why join #TeamStroke?
Everyone deserves to live the best life they can after a stroke. Taking part in the Ring O’ Fire Ultra Marathon Challenge means you are part of the team helping to rebuild lives after a stroke.
Along the way, we will support you with training tips, fundraising advice and one-to-one support: cheering you on every step of the way.
