Might Contain Nuts - Autumn Newsletter


Well that is the summer over, whilst it was not the greatest weather wise we hope you achieved all you set out to over the warmer months. We have been busy planning for the rest of 2012 and next year and thought it worthy to share some of this news with you.

Ultra Brecon 40 - Winter Edition:



The course this year has been tweaked. The start now incorporates an additional climb to get the legs warmed up and the climb up from Storey Arms ha
s been extended, the net result is that the course now qualifies for 2 UTMB points and is a little longer at 42 miles, but who's counting hey. The event (this year) is not part of The Welsh Ultra Running Series which starts with Round 1 in March 2013. The UB40 - Winter Edition is filling up fast so if you want to be on the start line please do not hang around too long. Hot off the press we will also be offering a marathon distance option which will run alongside the Ultra. 42 miles a little too much at the moment then take on 42 kilometers instead.

The Welsh Ultra Running Series:



Dates are confirmed as follows;
  • Round 1, The Black Mountains 30 (33 Miles) - 23rd March 2013
  • Round 2, Ultra Brecon 40 - Summer Edition (40 Miles) - 11th May 2013
  • Round 3 - The Wye One Way 50 (50 Miles) - 5th October 2013
  • Round 4 - Ultra Brecon 40 - Winter Edition (42 Miles) - 7th December 2013
3 of the 4 rounds sold out last year and based on entries for the Ultra Brecon 40 - Winter Edition, interest will be even greater for 2013.

The Welsh Trail Marathon Series:



We are exciting to announce that running along side The Welsh Ultra Running Series we will be introducing a Trail Marathon Series, incorporating the same great terrain, challenge and atmosphere as their bigger brothers:
  • Round 1, The Black Mountains Half Marathon (13 Miles) - 23rd March 2013
  • Round 2, Brecon Beacons Trail Marathon - Summer (TBC) - 11th May 2013
  • Round 3 - The Wye Valley Trail Marathon (26 Miles) - 5th October 2013
  • Round 4 - Brecon Beacons Trail Marathon - Winter (26 Miles) - 7th December 2013
We will be updating the website shortly with everything you need to know. In the meantime entries are open for The Brecon Beacons Trail Marathon - Winter Edition and The Black Mountain Half Marathon, you can enter here.

The Welsh Adventure Racing Series:



We launched The Welsh Adventure Racing Series with 2 events in 2012. The feedback to these tough 12 hour challenges has been fantastic so we have decided to extend the series to 3 events in 2013. We are currently working with UK AR to agree suitable dates and hopefully the events can be included within The UK Championships. Once everything is firmed up we can share more information. In the meantime each round will be up to 12 hours, based in Mid Wales and involve the same tough but beautiful mountainous terrain you would expect from a Might Contain Nuts event. Likely months (TBC) April, July and September 2013.
