Black Beacon Mountain Trail Races
The Black Beacon Mountain Trail Races are challenging long-distance running events held in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, South Wales. The races are linear, crossing from north to south, finishing in Pontneddfechen. Participants can choose from four distances: 21 miles, 50 kilometers, 50 miles, and 100 miles.
The courses feature spectacular mountain scenery with 12,000 feet of elevation gain, including waterfalls, reservoirs, and high peaks.
