Pilgrim 6
Pilgrim 6 is a mountain running event on Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons. The route is 32 km long with about 1800 m of elevation and includes three separate ascents of the Pen y Fan summit. Competitors follow six different paths so no ascent uses the same route twice.
Two entry categories are offered: Classic Fell Race (unweighted) and a Weighted category where participants carry a 16 kg bergan or day sack. The pack weight is checked at registration and must include water and food. The event has a minimum age of 16.
The course will not be marked. A GPX file and a map will be released before the event and navigation is the responsibility of each participant. Safety marshals will be positioned at all control points and participants must make themselves known at each control point to confirm they have completed all three ascents. A cutoff time will be announced closer to the event and is likely to affect the weighted category.
A t-shirt is available to purchase at registration. Dogs are strictly not allowed. Participants are advised to plan for a change of clothes and basic support at a base camp for finish line needs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
