Ras Dewi Sant 10K: Cathedral Steps to Whitesands Coastal Run

Ras Dewi Sant 10K drops you into the raw coastal character of St Davids, a pocket-sized city on the western tip of Pembrokeshire, Wales. The race begins at the top of the Cathedral Steps beneath the bell tower of St Davids Cathedral, threads through narrow streets, descends to Whitesands Beach and follows the Pembrokeshire Coast Path to St Justinian's before looping back through the town and finishing with a lung-burning ascent of the famous 39 Steps. If you want a short, sharp run that stitches together medieval stonework, dune-swept sand and exposed headlands, this is the route. The 10K covers a mix of surfaces: cobbles and flagstones in the city, compacted beach sand, and undulating coastal trail that skirts cliff edges and rock pools. The coastline here is open and wind-scoured, edged by gorse and low maritime heath rather than dense forest—so wind and weather play as big a role as the distance. Along the way keep an eye for grey seals hauled out on offshore rocks and large seabirds wheeling over the headlands; on calm days tidal pools reveal wriggling life if you pause at the water’s edge. Beyond the run itself the setting is why people come. St Davids Cathedral, with origins that reach into the medieval period, provides a dramatic human landmark and the Steps are a theatrical start and finish point. Whitesands Beach offers sweeping views and quick sand underfoot that rewards shorter strides, while St Justinian’s headland gives a punchy coastal exposure that feels far removed from the town a couple of miles back. Locals prize this route for delivering max scenery in a condensed distance. Practical details are straightforward: meet at St Davids Cathedral, start time is 08:45, and the route is advertised at around three hours—allowing for a steady group pace, photos, and tidal observations. Minimum age is 18; group capacity is capped at 150. Accessibility is limited on sections with steps and uneven trail; plan for wind, sun and sudden showers. Registration and bookings are handled through the provided referral link. Ras Dewi Sant 10K is more than a race; it's a community sprint that exposes you to Pembrokeshire’s elemental coast and the compact historic center of St Davids. Whether you’re chasing a fast time or just want a morning that combines shoreline running with a cathedral backdrop, this route delivers a memorable 10K within striking distance of the sea. Expect uneven footing through the dune grasses and loose stones on the headland; trail shoes with good grip and a layer for wind are worth the extra weight. After the run allow time to explore the cathedral, visit local cafes for a restorative brew, and scan the horizon for seals basking offshore.
