Race the Train (Welsh: Râs y Tren) is an annual cross country running event that takes place in Tywyn, Mid Wales.

The race is organised by Tywyn Rotary Club, and attracts runners from all over the world.

[1] In the main event, runners compete to beat a steam train on the preserved Talyllyn Railway over a distance of 14 miles (23 km).

The event has featured both in local and national media, including the BBC's Countryfile programme.
