Explore the Llanddulas Coast East 5
Location: Llanddulas, Wales
This is a 5.0 km out-and-back that follows the coastal path east from Llanddulas. The entire route is on tarmac, and with 0m of total ascent, it's completely flat. This makes it a solid choice for a tempo session or any run where you want to maintain a consistent pace without worrying about terrain or navigation.
You will run out for 2.5 km before turning around at the designated point. The path is wide and well-maintained, so your footing is reliable and road shoes are all you need. Being right on the coast, you'll be exposed to the elements, so expect wind to be a factor in one direction. To your left, you have constant views out to sea and along the North Wales coastline.
The out-and-back format makes pacing straightforward; what you face on the way out, you get in reverse on the way back. There are no navigational challenges or changes in surface to break your stride. The lack of any incline means this is just an honest, flat 5.0 km effort against the clock or for simple leg turnover.
