Fancy Racing the Train this year?

The now annual Race the Train will take place on September 20.

Organised by the town’s Rotary Club, cyclists are invited to try and reach Llanfair Caereinion before the 11.15am train with participants asked to check in at Raven Square Station, Welshpool, at 10.15am.

It will be a £6 entry with the route fully marshalled and water and chocolate provided at the end point. A certificate will be given to all entries.

“The trains are now running three minutes faster than before so the route for cyclists has been changed to reflect this,” said a spokesperson.
