This is the day after the WFRA South Wales Junior Series counter at Pen y Fan, which will be held on Saturday 6th July, starting a 15 minute walk from Cwm Llwch car park (SO 006 245) near Brecon. https://www.breconfans.org.uk/pen-y-fan-junior-races – it’s an open race, all welcome, you don’t have to be WFRA members to race.
The Blorenge is an accessible mountain, with great transport links. It is accessible from its base at Llanfoist, or from the top at either the Foxhunters or the Keeper’s Pond car parks. It is owned by the South East Wales Hang Gliding and Paragliding club who are keen for the hill to be used for outdoor activities such as running. There is a classic fell race for seniors in November each year from the start of our RDP route. It is a great area to look at a range of up and downhill skills with varied terrain. The focus will be on techniques and drills that runners can take away and incorporate into their training, rather than having a hard session, as many will have raced the day before. We’ll also talk about representative opportunities in Fell and Mountain running.
Many thanks
