Race the train

16 August 2008

Beat the famous Talyllyn Railway on its journey through the Welsh countryside while raising money for Epilepsy Action.

Epilepsy Action has a number of guaranteed entries available for next year’s Race the Train event organised by the Rotary Club in Tywyn.

Runners The aim of the 14-and-three-quarter mile multi-terrain race is to beat the train that leaves the station at Tywyn on the Talyllyn Railway at the same time as the runners and takes approximately one hour and three quarters.

Tickets are available for family and friends to ride the train and encourage the runners as they steam past.

Race the Train There is no minimum sponsorship pledge, we just ask for you to cover the cost for you to enter the race at £18 - then raise as much as you can. We will be happy to supply you with a runner's pack, including a FREE running vest, training plan, sponsorship forms and lots of fundraising advice, as well as your own personalised mug!

Thanks to everybody who raced the train for Epilepsy Action on August 18 2007. It was the first time that we had participated in the event and it proved to be a huge success.

Congratulations to our runners, who all achieved fantastic times!
