The Kymin Dash 2026
12 Apr 2026
Organiser's Description
Spirit of Monmouth – Kymin Dash Event Information
The Kymin Dash is a challenging and very scenic 7 mile race, straight up to the top of the Kymin above Monmouth, and back down on a long scenic loop of the Wye Valley.
Spirit of Monmouth Running Club are proud to present this race following on from the continued success and growth of previous years.
The course starts with an ascent to the Round House, a local viewpoint at around 850ft. The opening mile or so will certainly give your lungs a workout. What goes up must come down and a gentle descent through fields and the bluebell carpeted forest tracks before a long flat finish along the Hadnock Road into the Monmouth School Sports Club.
There are prizes for the ‘King’ and ‘Queen’ of the hill (first to the top) as well as finishing places.
