🚨EXCITING NEWS – SAVE THE DATE! 📣

We are currently gauging interest for a brand-new endurance challenge in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. Two distances. One brutal winter environment. This will not be your typical ultra. This event is designed for experienced ultra runners only and to take part, you must have successfully completed at least one 50-mile ultra prior to race day.

The route will take you through some of the most challenging and beautiful terrain the Brecon Beacons has to offer.

Provisional Date: 30-31 January, 2027

Interested? We are currently looking to gauge interest in this event before releasing further details. If you are up for the challenge then drop us a message or email ([email protected]) including the below info.

● Your name
● Which distance you are interested in (75 or 100 miles)
● Previous ultra-running experience
● Any relevant mountain or winter navigation experience

What to expect:
Sub-zero wind chills.
Gale-force gusts across exposed mountain plateaus.
Deep mud.
Relentless climbs.
Long hours navigating through complete winter darkness.
Largely unmarked, requiring competitors to navigate independently.
An experience you will never forget or regret.

We are looking for a select and highly competent group of endurance athletes willing to take on either a 75-mile or 100-mile winter traverse across some of South Wales’ most punishing terrain.

More details soon...
