The Beacons Ultra

The Beacons Ultra takes place within the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park. This latest offer from 'Likeys' threads its way through some of the best countryside the British Isles has to offer. The route is a real mix of picturesque canal towpath, ancient mining tramroads and high mountain passes.

The event will see competitors attempt a challenging 45 mile course, designed to be navigational friendly, yet providing the opportunity to experience, safely some of the fantastic mountain terrain the National Park has to offer.

The event will provide the perfect challenge either as a ‘grand day out’ or for athletes preparing for multi day events in 2009 such as the Marathon des Sables. Equally, the basic navigation requirements and well marked and marshaled course will provide an excellent opportunity for those athletes taking their first steps in to the world of Ultra Marathons.
