The PIGUM 2023 - A 30 mile adventure around the Gateway to Wales (y Porth i Gymru).

Join us for a heart pounding 30 mile ultra marathon around the mountain peaks and trails of Abergavenny, with 5,000 feet of elevation this little beauty will live long in the memory and in the legs.

Abergavenny - the gateway to Wales

The market town of Abergavenny will play host to the PIGUM. A town steeped in history with some of the most well loved mountains in Wales, let alone the UK.

Point of interest

The Sugar Loaf mountain dominates the skyline of the surrounding countryside and provides a spectacular backdrop to the PIGUM.

Peering between the ridges of the Llanwenarth, Deri and Rholben hills, the Sugar Loaf is one of the highest peaks in the heart of the Black Mountains. It stands at 1,955 feet high and offers glorious panoramic views across south Wales, the Brecon Beacons, and into south-west England.

Yep, you've guessed it - you go right over it! Join us for the PIGUM in 2023 and run with Pegasus!
