Black Mountains 50 & 32 Mile Ultra, Marathon & Half Marathon

About this event

The Black Mountains 50 & 32 Mile Ultra takes runners deep into one of Wales' most distinctive mountain ranges, where rolling ridges and expansive moorland create a truly wild backdrop. Based in Llanbedr, this July event offers multiple distance options including ultra, marathon, and half marathon routes, making it possible to experience these dramatic peaks at different intensities. The Black Mountains are known for their long, grassy ridgelines and sweeping views across the Welsh borders — terrain that demands respect and rewards effort. This is a proper mountain challenge best suited to experienced trail runners comfortable with navigation and self-sufficiency in remote terrain. The summer timing means long daylight hours, though the exposed ridges can still surprise with quick weather changes.
