Runners World Pocket Race Guide - Spring 20-milers:

The industrial backdrop of the Welsh valleys might not seem the most promising race setting, but once you head out onto the well-maintained paths of the Taff Trail towards Abercynon you'll be blown away by the unspoilt scenery that abounds along the route.
