Pembrokeshire Triathlon Club
Pembrokeshire Half Marathon & 10K
Next Race: 26/09/2027
Dale, Haverfordwest, SA62 3RB
The Pembrokeshire Half Marathon & 10k brings runners to the quiet lanes and dramatic clifftops around the village of Dale, with both races finishing in front of the Boathouse Café. Expect undulating country roads, sweeping views over the Milford Haven Waterway and out to Skokholm Island, and a route that passes not one but two lighthouses along the way.
This is a small, friendly event by design — entries are capped at 300 runners across both distances, and it regularly sells out months ahead. The 10k is the ideal starting point if you're new to road racing, while the Half Marathon's extra hills in the second half make it a genuine test for anyone chasing a proper coastal challenge.
