Black Beacon Mountain Trail Races
Hay-on-Wye, United Kingdom • 31-2 Oct-Nov 2025
The Black Beacon Mountain Races, organized by Run Walk Crawl, are a series of long-distance mountain trail races across the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) and Black Mountains in South Wales. Four distances offer varying challenges: Black Beacon 100 (100 miles, +7500m), Black Beacon 50 (50 miles, +3750m), Ultra Bach (50 km, +2200m), and the Black Beacon Trail Race (21 miles, +1200m). The routes travel from Hay-on-Wye through waterfall country into mountain ridges and back (or north/south variants), with fast, non-technical trails and spectacular scenery. Notable features include generous checkpoints, drop bags, GPS tracking and timing, safety teams, optional coach transport, and free race photography.
