About
The Midnight Mountain Marathon at Talybont-on-Usk is a mountain trail event on 12 June 2027 offering a marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km), a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) and the tougher Bergen Run, which comes in 26.2-mile and 13.1-mile versions. Organised by the Midnight Mountain Marathon team, it takes runners into the breathtaking mountains of Bannau Brycheiniog, at Brecon in Powys, for a night of intense racing amid stunning scenery.
What makes it unique is the timing: athletes set off at 17:30, running into the sunset and through the magic of dusk. With every participant guaranteed to finish before midnight, the atmosphere under the stars is something special, combining endurance, spectacular landscapes and the thrill of racing at night.
