The race
Enderfyniad
Determination
Blwyddyn dwetha, dechreuodd 98 o redwyr ac gorffen nhw ras fell y Blorenge. Oedrannau o 16 i 80 oed. Roedd rhedwyr o bob gallu gwahanol yn cymryd rhan - rhai profiadol a rhai newydd. Roedd hi'n wlyb ac yn niwlog, ond gorffennodd pawb y ras yn ddiogel.

Cymuned
Community
Dw i'n credu bod pawb wedi cael amser gwych - rhedeg, cerdded, sgwrsio, bwyta - jest dod at ei gilydd. Roedd y gymuned yn anhygoel, pobl leol a rhedwyr o bell yn rhannu straeon ac yn helpu ei gilydd. Roedd bwyd da, cwmni da, a chroeso cynnes i bawb.

Amgylchedd
Environment
The Blorenge is much more than the backdrop to this race. It is a place many of us run, walk and return to throughout the year. Seeing the damage caused by serious wildfires around Blaenavon and the surrounding hills in 2026 was deeply upsetting. These are landscapes and habitats that local people, runners and visitors care about.
We hope the race encourages people not only to enjoy these hills, but to value and look after them too.
We continue to support Stump Up For Trees, a local community charity creating native woodland and improving biodiversity across this part of Wales. If you would like to help, please consider learning more, volunteering or making a donation.
