About This Event

The Black Cattle Ultra Gwartheg Duon is set to challenge endurance runners on Saturday 29 August with two demanding route options: a substantial 44-mile trek and a still formidable 33-mile race. Competitors will embark on their epic journeys from either the picturesque Llanthony Prior or the historic market town of Abergavenny. Both routes chart a course along the iconic Cambrian Way, ultimately heading towards the Welsh capital, Cardiff. The path is anything but straightforward, promising a true test of grit and navigation. Runners can expect to traverse rugged mountain terrain, descend into tranquil wooded valleys, and pass through charming, scenic villages. A significant landmark on the homeward stretch will be the imposing Castle Coch, offering a dramatic backdrop as participants approach the finish. The entire event is proudly hosted at the home of Cardiff Harlequins RFC, providing a fitting base for this demanding ultra-marathon.
