Brechfa Trail Races
Brechfa Trail Races offer two distances through Brechfa Forest on a route that follows the Wind and Water Trail laid out by Natural Resources Wales. The course is mostly on forestry tracks with open panoramic views, pine stands and deciduous woods with waterfalls. A 13 mile loop can be run once for the half marathon or twice for the marathon.
The event provides full medical support, regular marshals, marked routes, aid stations with snacks and water, free photographs and toilets at the venue. There is a kit check at registration and entrants must carry the required kit to be allowed to start. A GPX file for the course is available for download.
Every finisher receives a medal. Trophies are awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female finishers and to the first male and first female veterans over 45. Parking at the venue is limited; parking is available in nearby Brechfa Village and a shuttle bus is included in the entry fee. Entry fees are listed as £40 for the half marathon and £50 for the marathon. Entry closes on 08/03/2026 and there are no entries on the day. The organisers reserve the right to withdraw entrants on medical advice for safety even if they remain within cut off times. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
