What you’re in for
Seven distances in the Bannau Brycheiniog out of Abergavenny, from 12 km to a hundred miles. The hundred sets off at six on the Friday evening, the 110 km runs either in one push or over several days, and the rest go across Saturday and Sunday. Climb ranges from 466 m on the 12 km to over 7,000 m on the hundred. The courses are marked throughout. Camping is at Llangorse Activity Centre on the Friday and Saturday nights, and runners taking more than one distance across the Ultra X calendar are working towards their Great British Slam.
