Blade Runner Ultra Marathon Series – Winter

There will be an official event photographer and a courtesy finisher photo for each athlete. Should weather conditions permit, there will also be a photographer positioned on the mountain to capture the very best action. Any photos offered are a complimentary service provided to competitors.

All finishers will also receive a distinctive cloth patch as way of recognising your achievement. There will also be prizes on offer to the various male and female age group winners.

Entries include a much deserved post race hot meal and cold drinks free of charge. Hot drinks and food will also be available at the various check points along the route.

The Storey Arms Outdoor Centre will act as Base Camp and the Information Centre. Here is where hot meals will be served and where you can find accommodation and drying rooms.

You'll find the centre on the A470 at the base of Pen y Fan mountain. The closest towns are a 20 minute drive around - Brecon to the North and Merthyr Tydfil to the South. Car parking is available opposite Base Camp and is free of charge.
