Black Beacon Mountain Trail Races

The Black Beacon Mountain Trail Races are a series of challenging long-distance mountain trail races held in South Wales, crossing the Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Parks. Starting from Hay on Wye, the event offers four race distances: a 100-mile ultramarathon with 7,500m ascent, a 50-mile ultramarathon with 3,750m ascent, a 50km "Ultra Bach" race with 2,200m ascent, and a 21-mile trail race with 1,200m ascent. The courses feature fast, non-technical trails with spectacular scenery, including mountain summits, waterfalls, and reservoirs.

Well-stocked checkpoints, GPS navigation, and support from volunteers ensure a safe and memorable mountain running experience for all abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
