The VOGUM 2019 - A 40 mile challenge along the Wales Coast Path from Porthcawl to Penarth. Sponsored by MadDog BrewingCo, SC Sport Centre and Enduraprep - Health & Performance Testing & Triathlon & Endurance Coaching

Sometimes the best adventures are on your doorstep, and The VOGUM is no exception. Picture the scene… clear sky, warm weather and the sun beating down as you glide your way along the Wales Coast Path. Remember, this is Wales and anything goes when it comes to the summer weather. We had a brilliant sun-filled day in 2018, and we're hoping history repeats itself in 2019!

This Challenge is perfect for anyone looking to push themselves, all whilst having a good time with other members of the community. The route will be clearly marked with checkpoints and aid stations to keep all on course and get you to the finish line safely.

At Pegasus Ultra Running, we are all about 'The Athlete's Experience'. We believe that if you put the time and dedication into training for one of our events, we will do anything possible to help you see it through.

Time Limits and Checkpoints - Please note we do not have time limits. Like we've stated previously, you've trained and paid to enter this race... We owe it to each Athlete to provide the help, support and time to get all to the Finish Line. Although we want our Athlete's to challenge themselves, we don't believe you have to run your heart out to do so. Take in the scenery, have a chat with a local, but most of all... Enjoy the trek!

In terms of Checkpoints, there will be 6 along the route. They will be fully manned and stocked with; snacks, fresh fruit, drinks, music and the odd beer. Please let us know of any special dietary requirements, and we will accommodate accordingly.
