Tocyn Brutal is a steep rocky track that starts at sea level with the whole of Abersoch bay setting the backdrop as you climb 140 feet over a 600 meter distance of rough rocky terrain and finishing outside the idyllic Porth Tocyn Hotel. Tocyn Brutal is a timed section of the course offering different challenges for different levels of runners!

Many runners aim to break the 3 min 33 sec benchmark, many others just aim to run the whole hill. The elite aim to get under 3 mins and for the fastest man & woman they get a night in the stunning Ty Cwtch.

If you’re a reasonably decent runner with a 10k time of 50 minutes you can expect to complete it in around 4 minutes. Tom Groves who currently holds the fastest time completed it in 2 minutes 31 seconds. Crazy!
