Mynydd Du Club Championships 2026

Races and plans for 2026 below...

🏆👏 Prize giving likely to be at the Skirrid Xmas Hill Race 19th December 2026 🏃💨

Here are the basics...

RACES

🌳 Local races to keep our carbon footprint down and to support local Race Organisers
⛰️ 3x Short 3x Medium 3x Long Races - Mixture of Beacons and Black Mountains races
⚡ Please note that Ras y Gader, Bannau Brycheiniog/Brecon Beacons and Pen y fan may get booked up, so move fast when entries open!

POINTS

1️⃣ ALL counters to score this year (20-1 points for the first twenty Mynydd Du finishers)
2️⃣ Extra challenges (for bonus points) to keep it interesting throughout the year (details to follow below)
3️⃣ Ladies and Open categories
4️⃣ In the event of a tie on points, the number of counting races completed (higher the better) and then total distance will be used, then a time trial during a club run :)

PRIZES

🏆 Fabulous bespoke prizes up for grabs! 🥇1st, 🥈2nd and 🥉3rd place in each category will receive a bespoke Mynydd du buff! (possibly for the last time as stocks are running low!)

So for example...

Running four of the counting races, say L-B, Mynydd Troed, Four Fans and Blorenge could give you a maximum of 80 points (20 points x 4 races).
If you did one of the bonus point challenges you could get another 20 points for being the 1st place Mynydd Du runner
With the above races you would also have a Short, Medium and Long counter and would therefore get 5 extra bonus points
If you completed all eight counters you would get 1 extra point per race over 4 races (4 extra points) and an extra bonus 3 points for completing all eight counting races (along with the extra points per race!).
If you broke the course record of one of the Races, say Black Mountains ;) then you would get an extra 10 points.

Please send any questions or angry hate mail to Steve Hepton and he will be happy to help 😁
