2007 Black Mountains Roundabout 25

In short: Hugely rewarding day out in the Beacons
In full: A fantastic event. V.very well organised and supported, stunningly beautiful classic circular tour of the underestimated Eastern Beacons
Road runners beware though ; hard-as-nails ramblers (let alone fell runners..) come into their own on a course like this and will have you for breakfast come 'the wall' !

In short: fine day out in a beautiful, over-looked, part of Wales
In full: Bucking the trend by not sending out race nos/any information to those who've entered in advance. I also felt a bit sorry for the (smelly ?!) girls who could'nt take a shower. That said, most races have no such facilities...
Beginners may also sulk at not getting a medal/T-shirt - I prefer cream eggs, low entry fees and a comfy bar at the finish though. Also good to see the Welsh AA promoting by making this a championship race
Many thanks to all who organised

In short: Gets better and better - the holy grail of trail ?
In full: Thanks to everyone involved in organising and supporting this fine race. Much more fun than running on road and, for lazey types like me, nothing too serious in the way of hills.
Great support, scenery and organisation

In short: grand day out with fine people in the most overlooked part of the Brecon Beacons
In full: Multi-terrain in the true sense of the word !!
Scrambling up/down/through, up/down/through (etc) the boggy heights of the high Beacons, rugged limestone and swallow holed hinterland, quarries, bracken festooned moorland, ancient oak forest, rugged farmland of the Talybont/Usk area with the occasional bit of history (Chartists caves) or flat bit (ridge or canal) to help pass the time. The best £6 you will ever spend..

In short: "the sun always shines in Barry" !
In full: Once again, a well organised, well supported, challenging but very rewarding little race. You'll curse the hill, but come back for more next year.

In short: Classy. The Hay on Wye Book Festival of road races ?
In full: Forget your big city races...
Superbly organised, and with lots of value added extras thrown in :
- freebee swim in the pool after
- cool down stroll along the cliffs
- the history (600 year old race HQ ?)
- stonking carrot cake
The only race where my family ask if they can come along ! Will convert the couchiest of couch potatoes...
