Traverse some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Starting from the Talybont-on-Usk and joining the Beacons Way National Trail with 5 Checkpoints supporting your progress along this EPIC Journey. 

Taking in the width of the Beacons Way including Pen-y-Fan and the Carmarthen Fans, the race has all the hallmarks of a classic!

Live Online GPS Tracking via GB Race Tracker, breathtaking views and amazing support from the #GBUltras team, the event also attains UTMB and ITRA mountain points and has optional transport back to the Start Venue after the event.

Top 100 finishers earn a Gold ‘Beacons Way 100km’ Medal, 101-200 finishers earn a Silver 100km Medal and 201+ finishers earn the Bronze 100km Medal. There are additional prizes for the Top 3 Male and Top 3 Female finishers!

The route follows the Official trail of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Beacons Way. The ability to navigate is expected during this event and runners must therefore have map reading skills. In the lead up to the Race, GB Ultras Running Club organise training runs covering the entire route section by section to help build confidence and prepare runners for the upcoming Race.
