The aim of this epic trek across the Brecon Beacons in South Wales is simple - complete your chosen distance whilst making the miles count.
Trekking through the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales, you’ll discover breathtaking landscapes, stunning hills and tranquil reservoirs along the way. You’ll also reach the summit of the Brecon Beacons’ highest peak, Pen Y Fan (886m) on both the 25km and 50km routes, where you’ll witness beautiful views stretching as far as the eye can see.
This distinctive flat-topped peak won’t just be the highlight of your adventure – it’s also the highest point in South Wales!
Suitable for beginner trekkers and expert trail runners alike, taking on TrekFest is by no means a walk in the park - it’s tough and will test you both physically and mentally, pushing your boundaries like never before. With the right training and preparation however, it is definitely achievable - as thousands of trekkers over the years will testify.
