Clwb Rhedeg
Mynyddwyr de Cymru (MDC)
Running Club

Mynyddwyr de Cymru (MDC) are a fell running club based in south Wales who run and race across Wales and beyond.

 

Our club was formed in 1980 and we’re proud to have been part of the fell running community for the last 46 years. Fell running and racing in Wales and the Borders is supported by the Welsh Fell Runners Association (WFRA) | Cymdeithas Rhedwyr Mynydd Cymru (CRhMC) and our members can often be found at local races listed on the WFRA website.

 

We are a friendly and inclusive club, and we’re always keen to welcome new members. Do come and chat to us at races or reach out via email or social media! Many people in MDC are based in and around Cardiff, but we also have members further west towards Swansea, east towards the English border, and north in the Bannau Brycheiniog.

We meet for a training run every Tuesday evening year-round, visiting a different spot each week – mainly in the valleys or the Bannau Brycheiniog and occasionally the coast. We have different paced groups and are always happy to welcome newcomers.

We run across south Wales, meeting up together every week. We’re often at local fell races as well as those further afield in Wales and beyond. Our members also support the fell running scene as Race Organisers, marshals and in other voluntary roles.

Fell running is a grassroots sport with a friendly and supportive community. It can be hard work, but is deeply rewarding and open to all. We would love to hear from you and encourage you to give it a go! Joining the club only costs £10 per year.
