Pen y Fan Race 2019

Sunday 14th July 2019

The race starts from the bottom of the field just beyond the last farm building (now a school bunkhouse). Please note this is about 10 minutes walk from registration, so give yourself plenty of time.
The first quarter of a mile or so is on an old cart track, or to the left of the trees through the field, then out onto a grassy slope getting steeper up to a fence and stile. After the stile, a walkers’ path keeps to the right-hand side of the valley, climbing steadily and narrowing towards the skyline.

Distance
5.8 kilometres or 3.5 miles
Ascent
588 metres or 1,930 feet
Classification
“AS” (i.e. brutal but it doesn’t go on for long). Experience required; local knowledge advantageous; navigational skills required.
