Walking from Abergavenny or Llanfoist may be practical for some participants. Cycle parking is available at Llanfoist Community Hall. Plan for winter weather, visibility and the return journey.

2026 kit requirements

Bring every item on the full kit list to the event, even if the weather looks settled. The Race Organiser will decide on the day what competitors must carry.

  • Waterproof/windproof top
  • Waterproof/windproof legs
  • Hat
  • Gloves
  • Compass
  • Whistle
  • Food and drink as needed for the conditions
  • A waterproofed map of the race route
  • Something to carry the kit in, such as a bumbag or rucksack

Practical guidance

Wear fell-running shoes with effective grip and arrive prepared for exposed, wet and cold winter conditions. Competitors are responsible for their own safety and must follow the Race Organiser’s instructions.

Navigation must not rely solely on a phone, watch or other electronic device. Bring the map and compass, know how to use them and read the Welsh Fell Runners Association guidance for runners before race day.

Do not leave kit at home. The on-the-day decision is about what you must carry during the race, not what you need to bring to registration.
