Ok, where do I begin???
Firstly, I’d like to take this opportunity to Thank ‘EVERYONE’ who has been involved in the 2023 races I organise, from the runners themselves, the marshals and supporters, those that sponsored/donated some of the items for the races, those that have helped marked courses and marshalled on top of a windy hill, and lastly and not least, my close family who have supported me through all the races and supported me even when they’re busy. 😉 I can’t thank you all enough. Muchios cwtches.
So now to talk about what’s happening next year! 😋
2024 DATES
Sat 11th May – The Beast races.
This is not just the 10th Anniversary year, it will also be a special edition version! Yes folks, those entering the 24 miler or the 11 miler, you’ll also be doing the WoD right towards the end!!! WoD stands for – Wall of Death!!! Basically a very big steep hill(steeper than the Beasts Back that you usually go up to Foel Feddau!!!) just before you summit Foel Cwmcerwyn.
Fear not. If you really don’t think you can handle both the Beasts Back and the WoD, then there is the ‘Fun run’ option of doing just the WoD! This slightly shorter ‘simpler’ version is going to be called Beast Bach ‘twt’. (Twt meaning tiny). 😉 However, the Twt will be a non-competitive race, meaning no category prizes, just slate coaster and usual post race refreshments. 😉
There will be no UltrabeasT for 2024. Revised maps of the 2024 routes , and stats for each are below. Big thanks to the Rees family for allowing the race to use the WoD area which is on land that they manage, Diolch. 😉
Sat 22nd June– Preseli DipDab 4hr score event to test your orienteering/map reading skills.
Thurs 18th July (pm)- The park run distance of the Carn Ingli Killer race! 😋
Sun 4th August- The 7mile Cerrig Glas race, with kids races too. 😉
Sat 17th August- The 5.5mile classic Ras Beca, with kids races too. 😉
Online entries for the Beast, and possibly for the other races, will open mid December……hopefully! 😋
As for the 2023 Brussel Buster, then this will actually be on Sat 30th Dec 2023. 😋 More details to follow, but it’s going to be an exciting one, and a complete change of venue!!! Similar format, a night orienteering style 2hr score event, starting and finishing at a pub. 😋 What’s not to like? 😉
Muchios Thanks wee Beasties. 😉
