About the Beacons Way Ultra 100K

The 100K is a distinct race within the Beacons Way Ultra weekend. It follows the national trail from Llangynidr to Llangadog and expects entrants to bring prior mountain-ultra experience rather than rely on continuous course marking.

Course

The point-to-point route crosses the Black Mountains and central Bannau Brycheiniog with six checkpoints and about 3,178 meters of ascent. Navigation and severe-weather alternatives can change how the day unfolds.

Race-day weather

Summer in the Welsh mountains can still mean wind, rain and poor visibility. Long exposed sections make waterproof layers and sound navigation important even when valleys begin warm.
