Yes! I ran the Mercian Challenge last year (2019) which is the first 100 miles from Chepstow to Montgomery.
The path is very well way marked with the little acorn signs. There is a fair bit of elevation but nothing too daunting - the highest point and largest climb is crossing the black mountains before you descend into Hay on Wye, but even that climb didn't seem that long.
It's very scenic, passes through small villages and towns often though so plenty of scope for food and drink before a bivvi a few miles up the path.

Anyone run any of Offa's Dyke path? I'd like to do a few days of running with a bivvy in late April/early May, and this seems like a lovely and straightforward route (nav wise). I'll be based in Bristol, so was thinking of maybe doing some of the southern sections in the Wye, but any suggestions welcomed..
