About TROTs

TROTs running club was formed in October 1986, with some of the founding members still being involved in the club today.

We have particularly strong veterans and ladies teams, including Welsh internationals and champions at distances from 5k to the Marathon. However, the club includes runners of all abilities, so there is always someone to train with at a speed and distance to suit you :-)

On the site, you will find an events diary and results of recent races, as well as news and links to local running clubs and other relevant websites.

Races Hosted by TROTs

The TROTs holds various club races during the year which are open to all runners. These include:

  • Bwlchybuster MT

    New for this year is the Bwlchybuster MT. This race is in lieu of the traditional Dambusters MT which has been cancelled for 2018 as the Llys-y-Fran county park is closed for redevelopment. The Bwlchybuster MT will provide a great alternative for those seeking their fix of multi-terrain running. The distance will be approximately 10km with the race starting outside Bwlchygroes school.
