What you’re in for
Two short trail races from the Van Community Centre on the edge of Caerphilly. The 5k crosses old hedged fields and a quiet wood to the top of Rudry mountain, a small hill with wide views; the 10k adds a loop past Rudry village hall through a little-used wood. There is a fast downhill singletrack, and in February expect a boggy stretch and a stream crossing that will soak your feet. Both routes are fully marked with marshals, and there is a 2-hour limit, so walking the whole way is fine. No compulsory kit, though waterproofs, hat and gloves are advised. Caerphilly station is about a mile from the start.
