(1)

Ring O' Fire is a coastal ultra marathon race around the Isle of Angelsey, North Wales. Ring O' Fire is a coastal ultra marathon which 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. Almost the entire coastline of Anglesey has been desi

gnated an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty". Set against the dramatic backdrop of 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.

A local perspective from Faith, who has taken up the Ring O’ Fire 130 mile coastal running challenge🔥

What a way to say goodbye👣💨

“I’ve lived on Anglesey all my life, in Caergybi. In May, I completed my first 100km race at UTMB Snowdonia, and since then I’ve been determined to keep pushing my limits.
My next goal is to run 100 miles, but I thought, why stop there? Instead, I’m taking on the challenge of running 130 miles around the island I’m proud to call home.

Completing the Ring of Fire would mean a huge amount to me. It’s more than just a running challenge—it’s a chance to say farewell to the island that has shaped me. I’ve recently bought my first home in Gwynedd to be closer to the mountains, where I do most of my training and spend much of my time. Running the full coastline of Anglesey feels like the perfect way to celebrate where I’ve come from before starting this exciting new chapter.”

Two incredible adventure films capturing the essence of the Ring O' Fire ultra marathon.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or someone dreaming of the challenge, these films will inspire and motivate you.

🎦Marcus Kjellberg's Inspiring Film
Marcus Kjellberg, from Sweden, has gifted us with an incredible film about his experience at this year's race. Aiming for a podium finish, Marcus captures the very soul of the Ring O’ Fire event. The grit, the camaraderie among runners, the sheer determination, the amazing marshal teams, and the stunning coastal landscape - it’s all there. Running over 130 miles isn’t just physical; it’s emotional, and Marcus describes it as an “almost religious experience.” Marcus, who manages Type 1 diabetes, shows that with determination and proper management, incredible feats are possible.

Ioan has been running along the Ynys Môn (Anglesey) coastline since he was 17. After completing the Firelighter last August, the draw to the full 130 mile Ring O’ Fire, became impossible to ignore🔥

“After taking part in the Firelighter last August, and having trained long‑distance on the Anglesey coast since I was 17, the natural next step was to think about completing the full distance. There really is no better place to run or train than on the Anglesey coast — it has a mix of terrain and challenges. My hopes for this race are to adapt quickly to the distance and hopefully finish between the 35–40 hour mark. 135 miles of Anglesey’s rugged coastal trails is no joke, but I’m looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to push myself in a race and distance that will be completely new to my past ultra‑running experiences.”

Still only 20, Ioan is already carving out his own path in ultra‑running. He’ll be lining up for the full Ring O’ Fire this summer, ready to take on a new challenge around the island he’s grown up running.

Let’s wish him well as he prepares for his journey around Ynys Môn🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Meet Our New Ambassador

We’re excited to introduce our new ambassador, Gwen Owen, and welcome her to the team.

Our ambassadors also organise a number of recce runs, and we’ll be sharing more details about these soon — so stay tuned!

Our dedicated team and amazing volunteers are the backbone of the Ring O' Fire. They ensure everything runs smoothly, supporting our runners from start to finish and embodying the community spirit that makes our race so special.

Gwen Owen is a runner based on Ynys Môn and the founder of MônGirlsRun, a women’s social running group created to offer a welcoming, supportive and empowering space for women to get into running.

Having taken up running almost three years ago, Gwen began with a simple idea that has since grown into a thriving community. MônGirlsRun has become far more than a running group; it is a place where women build confidence, form genuine friendships, and feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are.

You can read more about our Ambassadors, including Mark and Amber, who have supported us for a number of years, here: https://ringofire.co.uk/ambassadors/

Thinking of Running?

We’ve already sold almost 200 places, and entries are filling fast. The latest date to sign up is midnight on 1st July 2026, or sooner if all places sell out.

If you’re considering taking on the Firelighter, the Ring O’ Fire, or the new relay, we recommend signing up as soon to secure your place. See our website for more information, here: https://ringofire.co.uk/

Interested in Volunteering?

Our event thrives thanks to our volunteer marshals, whose enthusiasm and local knowledge drive our runners from checkpoint to checkpoint. We welcome new volunteers to join us — whether at the start line, at checkpoints, or within our safety and logistics teams.

We’d love to hear from you. Supporting an international ultra running event is an unforgettable experience. For more details about volunteer benefits and requirements, please see our volunteer page here: https://ringofire.co.uk/volunteers/
