Pilgrim 6

Pilgrim 6

Pilgrim 6 is an endurance running event on Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons, scheduled for 31 October 2026. The course covers 32 km with approximately 1800 m of elevation gain and includes three separate ascents of Pen y Fan.

The event uses six different paths so that no route is repeated between ascents. Two entry categories are offered: a Classic Fell Race and a Weighted category where participants carry a 16 kg pack. Packs are weighed at registration and the weight must include water and food. Minimum age for entry is 16.

The route will not be marked. A GPX file and a map will be released closer to the event; participants are responsible for navigation. GPS devices are permitted. Safety marshals will be stationed at control points and participants must make themselves known at each control point so completion of all three ascents can be confirmed. There will be a cutoff time to be announced; it is likely to affect the weighted category.

Additional notes in the event information state that organisers do not supply packs, that dogs are not allowed, and that a t shirt can be purchased at registration. A water station is listed on the route and main trails and paths should be followed where indicated. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
