Organiser's Description
Brechfa Forest is one of Wales' spectacular hidden secrets. It's incredible there is something so vast just 90 minutes from Cardiff. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the size of the place but, fortunately for us, Natural Resources Wales have created some gorgeous routes with open panoramic views, quiet and serene pine forests and waterfall laden deciduous woods.
A 13 mile loop allows you to choose one or two laps.
For the marathon, the 2nd loop is in reverse - the half and full marathon people meet each other in opposie directions- and creates a wonderfully supportive community race. This is a perfect race as either your A race for a fast trail race or as a part of your training for another race.
The wonderful Pobl Y Forest (people of the forest) provide a warm home made soup at the end (including in your fee) - last year it was so popular, that entrants felt we should go into making soup!
Which distance will you choose; half marathon or marathon?
