The Kymin Dash will be held this Sunday (27th April) on the same course as last year. The challenging and scenic 7.1 mile race will see runners head off at 11am, straight up to the top of the Kymin above Monmouth, and back down on a long scenic loop of the Wye Valley. The race's registration and finish are at Monmouth School Sports Club (MSSC).  The start is 15 minutes walk from registration. The course (and the route to the start) will be well marshaled and there will be two water stations. It is mainly on tarmac and forest roads, and is suitable for road shoes. All finishers will receive a T-shirt. The course starts flat for around 50 metres before climbing the Kymin road to the Round House, a well-known 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 will see runners make their way through fields and the bluebell carpeted forest tracks before a long flat finish along the Hadnock Road into the Monmouth School Sports Club. Prize-giving will be at MSSC. As last year, there will be prizes for the 'King' and 'Queen' of the hill as well as finishing places. There will be cake and other refreshments available after the race. Organisers, Spirit of Monmouth Running Club said: "We are grateful to our sponsors MSSC and Robert Price for making the race possible. Any profits generated will be donated to ABF, The Soldiers' Charity." Visit kymin.spiritofmonmouth.co.uk for more information and details about entering the race.
