About This Event

Limitless Trails presents a distinctive multi-distance trail challenge that begins in the dramatic Black Mountains and concludes deep within Brecon Beacons National Park. This self-navigation adventure takes runners across some of Wales' most celebrated terrain, including summits like Waun Fach in the Black Mountains and potentially Pen y Fan, the highest point in south Wales. The event emphasizes comprehensive support while maintaining the challenge of independent navigation. Runners receive GPS tracking throughout, medical support including mountain medics, and strategically placed checkpoints with hot food where possible. The race headquarters at Llangynidr Village Hall serves as both finish line and logistical center, with transport provided to the mountain start points. This is a well-supported introduction to Welsh mountain running for those stepping up in distance, while still providing a legitimate test for experienced ultra runners. The 24-hour cutoff applies across all distances, and the event welcomes canicross participants and support crews.
