Black Mountains 50 & 32 Mile Ultra, Marathon & Half Marathon

Limitless Trails are very excited to be offering another Ultramarathons and Marathon & Half Marathon in the beautiful Black Mountains, deep in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

ALL DISTANCES WILL BE SELF NAVIGATION - TRACKED WITH FULL SUPPORT

New to 2024! We have added a 32 mile ULTRA - allowing you to gain experience under the watchful eye of our team. However whilst we promote Navigation skills, these are marked routes. We have amazing and experienced back runners on each route to fully support you at every step

This long-distance challenge is one that will fulfil the elite and seasoned runner whilst also offering amazing support for the less experienced trail runner who may be looking to step up a gear and attempt a greater challenge with the knowledge that they will be receiving incredible support - both from our amazing team and at checkpoints throughout the duration of the run.

Support crews and supporters will be most welcome during the event.

What to Expect

Friday afternoon the Team will welcome you to Race HQ – camping will be at TY MAWR Farm, parking will be available close to the start of the race. Registration and kit check will be available for an easier pre-race morning. For those unable to attend Friday please do not worry as a gentle start time of 8 am will allow everyone a stress-free race morning. Registration will be open at 6 am and the race briefing will be at 7.30 am.

There will be a drop bag zone at the start & half way for the Ultra 50 only /finish – items left at your own risk.

This Trail Challenge is a self-navigated experience however we will be supporting certain areas that may lead to some confusion with flags and signs (not tape). Participants will be tracked by our team throughout the entire race. Family and friends will be able to monitor and support each and every one of you. A GPX file and a map will be provided. We highly recommend recceing sections of the route before the event.

On route, we will be supporting you with Check Points and water stations. For the 50-Mile Ultra we will also be providing food at the mid-way point in Longtown.

Medical advice given to any runner not to continue must be followed, if not then the organisers do not accept any responsibility if the participant continues. They do so at their own risk. We will have a team physio on-site to offer any light relief.

Support crews, friends and families are more than welcome to attend the checkpoints however we do ask that runners take president overall. Please be considerate of our neighbours at checkpoints - keep the noise down to a minimum and be considerate when parking.

During the event, you will also be supported by a full mobile medical unit. Support runners will be on the course at various locations if needed for vital support – all experienced within this Mountain Range.
