Trails & Tarmac Back Yard Ultra - Winter

Experience the thrill of endurance with the latest installment of the Limitless Trails BYU Series, featuring a unique twist on the rules. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Black Mountains near Crickhowell, this event offers a 4.2-mile loop on a 50/50 mix of trail and tarmac. With only one gradual climb and a short steep section, the rest of the course is relatively flat, making it fast and dynamic. Medals will be awarded to participants who complete at least 32 miles (Ultra distance), while the last person standing will take home the coveted winner’s trophy. You’ll be supported with refreshments and hot food starting after the 5th yard to keep you fueled throughout the challenge.
