Beast Of The Beacons

The Beast of the Beacons is a challenging trail running event held in the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park, starting and finishing at Llangynidr Village Hall. Offering distances of 10, 20, and 40 miles, the course features a mix of harsh climbs, rocky paths, forest trails, rivers, and reservoirs, with spectacular views and abundant wildlife including red kites. The 40-mile ultra is a reverse lap of the 20-mile route, allowing runners to experience the scenery twice.

Well-stocked checkpoints provide refreshments catering to all dietary needs. The event is marked and supported by marshals, with generous cut-off times to accommodate all levels. Facilities include medical support, camping, refreshments, and post-race food. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
