HOWUM by Pegasus Ultra Running 2027
HOWUM is a trail ultramarathon event held around Llanidloes, United Kingdom, organised by Pegasus Ultra Running and Stable Adventures. The main route is a single loop from Dol Llys Farm that uses sections of the Severn Way, Wye Valley Walk, Cambrian Way and Glyndwr's Way and passes through the Pumlumon massif and the Clywedog valley.
The event offers two distances:
- 30 mi HOWUM 30
- 15 mi HOWUM HALF
The 30 mile route climbs the three highest points of the Pumlumon massif, including Pumlumon Fawr (752 m), Pen Pumlumon Llygad-Bychan (727 m) and Pen Pumlumon Arwystli (741 m), and descends through Hafren Forest towards Llyn Clywedog Reservoir. Total ascent for the full route is 5,675 feet. HOWUM HALF joins the main course after a separate loop through the Clywedog valley that includes Cefn Penarth (317 m) and Deildre Hill; both distances share the final miles back to Dol Llys Farm.
Support and logistics include three checkpoints on the 30 mile course with two fully stocked aid stations and a midpoint water stop with access to drop bags, one full aid station on the half, professional medical cover, a finisher's medal, a race manual and volunteer support from the organiser team. Event parking is available at Dol Llys Farm and free parking is available in Llanidloes about 1 km from the start. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
