Beast Of Bryn
The Beast of Bryn is a challenging trail running event held in the scenic Afan Forest Park near Port Talbot, South Wales. Established in 2011 and managed by the Bryn Residents Action Group (BRAG), the 2025 race offers two distances: a 6.5-mile (10.5 km) route with 288 meters of climb, and a longer 10.5-mile (17 km) course featuring 556 meters of ascent. Both routes showcase stunning mountain views and are fully marked and marshalled.
Participants receive mailed race packs, bespoke finisher medals, t-shirts, and enjoy electronic chip timing. The event supports local charities and emphasizes environmental care, with facilities including water stations, medical support, and post-race entertainment.
