About the event
The Beast of the Blacks is an exciting challenge that takes place in the breathtaking Black Mountains of Wales. Participants of all levels, from elite athletes to beginners, come together to conquer this event. With the support of marshals along the trails, you can push yourself to complete either a 10, 20, or 40-mile route. The 40-mile course offers twice the opportunity to take in the stunning scenery of the mountains.Starting near the village of Llanbedr, you will ascend directly into the Black Mountains, surrounded by remarkable views throughout the route. From forest trails to mountain peaks, river crossings to ancient churches, the course offers a diverse and picturesque experience. Wildlife is abundant in the area, with red kites soaring overhead as you run. Spring is the perfect time to enjoy the mountains at their most beautiful.
This event is canicross friendly, allowing participants to tackle the challenge with their canine companions. Dogs must be at least 12 months old, fit to run, and kept on a lead at all times. Owners are responsible for their dogs at all times. While canicross participants are not eligible for trophies, the added support and motivation from their four-legged friends make this a unique experience.
