About
Beast of the Beacons Ultra 40m plus 20m & 10mile takes place on 17 April 2027 in Llangynidr, Wales. Three distances start in waves: the 40-mile ultra (64.4 km) at 8am, the 20-mile race (32.2 km) at 9am and the 10-mile race (16.1 km) at 10am.
With starts staggered an hour apart, runners on every distance share the course over a common time window. The 10 miles is an accessible introduction for anyone used to 10 km road races, provided they wear shoes suited to Welsh terrain. The 20 miles is a demanding long run, useful as part of an ultra build-up. The 40 miles calls for a dedicated training block of several months, a tested fuelling plan and experience of managing several hours of effort in changeable weather.
