The Midnight Mountain Marathon

A unique Marathon and Half Marathon in Brecon, Wales

7th June 2025

Join us in the majestic mountains of the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons).

We have 4 races, a Marathon, a Half Marathon and a Bergen edition of both.

This unique race format means you'll start in the daylight and finish running through the sunset. Can you get back before midnight? Can you actually complete the race without needing a torch?
