She Runs: the 30 mile RIDUM
Some of our intrepid She Runs Cardiff members kicked off September by taking on the incredible challenge of the Rhymney Valley Ridgeway Ultra Marathon.
Known as the RIDUM, it’s a 30 mile challenge around the hills of South East Wales and the Rhymney Valley Ridgeway Walk.

The event has a total elevation of 4252 feet, including the 1,188 ft (362 metres) of Mynydd Machen.
