The Race
Our simple aim is to put on the best races there are. These are just some of the comments from our first event
"The kindness shown by everyone at the aid stations was just wonderful. Aid stations were well stocked which was so helpful"
"everything you could want from a trail race (and more!)”
“a spectacular event on Saturday! I couldn't have enjoyed it any more!”
We genuinely believe this is one of the best Ultras out there - from the amazingly varied route - mountain fells with ancient forts, to pretty woodlands with hidden fairy tale castles - to the sustainable ethos of local slate awards and locally crafted unique finishers mementos - there is so much, that the whole is just spot on - all supported by local runners passionate about their sport - with indoors loos and food stations on route.
This really is the experience you are looking for.
44 mile - 71K Ultra
What better way to start a race than at the beautiful Llanthony Priory, nestled in the Heart of the Black Mountains. You'll spend the day travelling back to Cardiff passing the fairy tale Castell Coch near the finish. Over mountains, wooded vales and picturesque villages, this is one amazing route. It's not easy, yet very rewarding - and something you will definitely want to come back for.
33 mile - 53K Ultra
This is not the “easy” option. Starting 11 miles into the 44 mile route, in the pretty town of Abergavenny, you will first meet the Blorenge - a very big climb to start the day. Wandering through the historic towns of Pontypool and Risca, before seeing our Machen Races venue. Finally, a traverse along the Cefn Onn ridge back to Cardiff via the iconic Castell Coch. Just like the 44 mile option, a glorious mountain ultra along an amazing route which will no doubt have you wanting to come back for more.
