Mynydd Du Club Championships 2025

Latest news

🏁 The Mighty Mynydd Du 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ Club Championships - the final results are in! 🏁

After our final counter for 2025 - Llyn y fan - we had a few position swaps in the top 3s with Rhian and Wyndham the unlucky ones to miss out in the final standings (this year). Our final top threes for 2025 are...

🥇Emma 🥈Bev 🥉Bethan

🥇Ian 🥈Brett 🥉Tom M

Emma and Ian 💪💪 nobody could argue that these 🥇🥇 are well deserved, after all of the hard work you put down in the January elevation challenge, backed-up by consistent racing over the whole year. Ian in particular deserves an extra shout-out for completing every single counting race, with or without shoes! 👟 See the full final standings below!

🏆👏 Prize giving wil be on 29th November at the Blorenge race - this is also a counter for the South Wales Winter Hill Series - so be there representing your beloved club! 🏃💨

Final standings...

Spiffy Prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places in Open and Ladies categories

So for example...

Running four of the counting races, say L-B, Cribyn, Cwmdu and Waun fach 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.
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 😁

Here are the basics...

Local races to keep our carbon footprint down and to support local ROs
3x Short 3x Medium 3x Long Races - Mixture of Beacons and Black Mountains races

Up to 4 counters to score (20-1 points for the first twenty Mynydd Du finishers)
Extra challenges (for bonus points) to keep it interesting throughout the year (details to follow below)
Ladies and Open categories
Fabulous bespoke prizes up for grabs! 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each category will receive a bespoke Mynydd du buff!
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 :)
