Event information

Organiser's description

The Beacons Ultra, Beacons Marathon and Beacons Half are a series of mixed trail/mountain/canal/road run around the magnificent Brecon Beacons in the middle of November, when climatic conditions can vary quite considerably. The race has taken place in everything from sparkling sunshine through to minus 8 degrees, with obligatory rain and mist thrown in to remind the athletes that they are running in Wales in all its glory.

The timing of the event being at the end of the prime UK ultra season means the event attracts a very mixed range of abilities, from multi-world record holders, to world champions through to those taking part in an ultrarun for the very first time and of course everyone in between. With three distances to choose from, ranging from 50 miles, 26 miles or 13 miles, the overriding atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming (although the competitive spirit in some can never die!). Whatever your ability, you will also be made extremely welcome by what is possibly the friendliest organisers and marshals anywhere on the planet.

Great organisation and a brilliant course! Booking and communication faultless. It was a shame about the heavy mist as I think the climb would be stunning with clear skies... will have to do it again next year :)

Amazing course and overall well run event. Some of the signage could’ve been clearer in the latter half of the course.
Many thanks for your feedback. It's really helpful to know about the signage, we will be improving this for next year.
