Beacons Ultra

The Beacons Ultra is a challenging trail running event held in November in Talybont-on-Usk, Powys, at the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, Wales. It features three race distances: a 49-mile ultra consisting of two loops plus an out-and-back to Pen y Fan, a 26-mile marathon following a single loop of the ultra course, and a 13-mile half marathon around local trails and hills. The courses combine trail, mountain, canal, and road running with significant elevation gains—2,258m for the ultra, 1,319m for the marathon, and 543m for the half.
