The short course follows the official 10 Peaks route out as far as the second feed station on the Sarn Helen trail. It then heads north along the trail to rejoin the official route with 17 miles to go (missing out a 20 mile loop of the official course that takes in the Black Mountain and the very tough ascent of Fan Gyhirych). Do not worry though, we have ensured that the most spectacular parts of the Brecon Beacon National park are not missed out by those competing on the shorter route. We have added a few peaks too, just to boost the number of Peaks back up to 10 (this is a 10 Peaks race after all!). This is by no means an easy day out. Rest assured that this will have a 25 to 35% dropout rate!

This is a self-navigation event on an un-marked course. You will be supplied with a map that has the suggested route marked on it, however you are free to choose your own route and find your own way from checkpoint to checkpoint, provided that you complete the full course and visit all cps and peaks in the correct order.
