Organiser's Description

Brecon Beacons National Park | Trail running retreat

Where rolling foothills lead to dramatic ridges, the Brecon Beacons and the neighbouring Black Mountains are the heartlands of Wales. Steeped in a rich history of folklore we explore trails trodden by travellers of a time gone by. Rivers and waterfalls scar the rock faces, while heather-clad meadows give these hilltops their seasonal purple hue.

This is a fantastic place to run, relax and escape the speed of everyday life, moving at your own pace.
