#GBUltras WELCOME RUNNERS to the 2nd Edition of the 100 Mile Beacons Way Ultra TRAVERSING the Brecon Beacons National Park!
Starting from the Heart of Abergavenny amongst the majestic remains of Abergavenny Castle, and with 10 checkpoints spread out along the glorious 100 mile course, the Beacons Way Ultra is an opportunity to test yourself against the mighty Brecon Beacons!
With 6143m (20100 ft) of ascent, the Beacons Way is the 'Official trail' of the Brecon Beacons National Park possessing some of the finest scenery in Great Britain. Factor in maximum support from the GB Ultras team and Live Online GPS Tracking via GB Race Tracker and you have all the credentials of a truly EPIC ultra-marathon.
With kind permission and support from the Brecon Beacons National Park, Abergavenny Castle, Monmouthshire Council, the Black Mountains Partnership, Natural Resources Wales, Welsh Water, Honorary Artillery, Wernddu, the National Trust, Duke of Beaufort's Estate, Llanthony, Court Farm, Llanddeusant, Cnewr Estate amongst many other landowners.
Runners take on Ysgyryd Fawr, also known as the Skirrid and the Holy Mountain, a place rich in myths and legends, before their journey continues to Pen y Fan (886m - the highest mountain in South Wales), Corn Du, Fan Hir, Fan Brycheiniog and Carreg Cennen Castle.
In true GB Ultras tradition, there is also the opportunity to take part in completely 'Free of Charge' training runs in the lead up to the Event to ensure maximum confidence of the route prior to Race day and to further support runners taking on the challenge. There is also OPTIONAL 'Coach transport' available from the Finish venue back to Abergavenny after the Race (Option available upon Sign Up).
