The Brecon Beacons is famous as a walking destination and as a military training area and over the years many have felt the challenge these South Wales mountains can offer.

Can you meet the challenge? Whether a military endurance test, or an expedition necessity, true hill fitness and determination can only be proved whilst carrying your equipment.

Do not underestimate this event - the Long Bimble makes most so-called 'Xtreme' events seem like a warm-up! You need to arrive well trained and determined to succeed but it will be worth it. The route is fantastic. NB: all races will have cut off times in force.
