ULTRA X

The runners get the medals. But an Ultra X weekend is built by a lot more people than that.

Whether you enjoyed the free custom embroidery from Janji UK, the race saving muscle support of Bearhug and WYLD Therapy, the healthy energy of TENZING NATURAL ENERGY, the nutrition and gels of Science in Sport - SiS along the course or simply the amazing food from our finish line vendors, they all came together to create

🏅 Congratulations to all of our finishers from The Dash up to 110km; Whether you finished under the bright sun or the starry sky (the Bannau Brycheiniog is classified as an International Dark Sky Reserve), we hope Ultra X Wales was as magical for you as it was for us.

Ultra X Wales Stage 2 ✅

What an incredible end to our first ever event in the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park 🙌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Today brought cooler temperatures than yesterday but also patches of rain and wind that presented challenging conditions on the highest parts of the course.

The Class of ‘26 were up to the challenge and they pushed on with some incredible times and distance efforts across the weekend.

Particular shoutouts go to Natalie Taylor - the current FKT record holder for the Dragon's Back Race® and winner of Ultra X Wales 2025 for retaining her title on the new course!

And to AB - our final finisher of the 110km Single Stage event, completing the course in 35hrs and 30minutes - 30 minutes inside the 36hr cutoff! We’ll be sharing more of his incredible journey next week…
