We are excited to deliver a maybe much needed Ultra after all the food & wine consumed over Christmas and the New Year. With a little twist to the rules as we launch.
We intend to give medals to anyone who reaches 32 miles ie ULTRA, the winning Male and Female who are last standing will be allocated a TROPHY.
Set just outside Crickhowell deep in the Black Mountains the route will be 50/50 Trail and Tarmac, with only one gradual climb and a short steep section, the rest is relatively flat terrain which mean fast.

Limitless Trails – Beast of the Beacons 10, 20 and 40 Mile Trail Running Challenge
@ Llangynidr Village Hall
Mar 8 all-day
The Beast of the Blacks 10, 20 and 40 is a great challenge amongst some spectacular, harsh but stimulating trails within the Majestic Black Mountains of Wales. Attracting runners from the elite to the beginner you will not be disappointed by this event. The event will be marked with the added support of marshals. Generous cut off times of 5 hrs for the 10 mile, 8 hours for the 20 mile route and 16 hours for the 40 mile route will ensure that you can tame the beast. The 40 mile event will be a reverse of the 20 mile loop so whatever scenery you miss on the first lap, you can capture on the second lap.

All funds go to keep Longtown Mountain Rescue Team going. They were originally formed in 1965 to help people in difficulties within the Black Mountains. The role of the team has now expanded to include a wide variety of potential situations, where the police consider our assistance and expertise would be of benefit.
Details will be published in December 2024 on their website.
