Beat the Beacons – 27th Sept 2025

The annual Beat The Beacons Challenge Event is taking place once again in 2025 and is organised to raise funds for the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team.

The Beat The Beacons (BEAT) event first took place in September 2019 and replaced the Talybont Trial which had been running on an annual basis since 1978.

The challenge event which starts and finishes at the Henderson Hall in Talybont-on-Usk takes place in the beautiful area of the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog).

  • The 22 mile Endurance route visits the highest points in the Brecon Beacons

  • The 15 mile Adventure route follows a similar path to the 22 mile route, but avoids the highest points.

  • The 10 mile Taster route is a walk on lower elevation footpaths, designed for lesser experienced walkers, families, and children.

Support Brecon Mountain Rescue Team – every penny counts!

Every penny raised from BEAT goes directly toward funding Brecon Mountain Rescue Team. By taking part, you’re not only challenging yourself but also making a huge difference in keeping our life-saving service running.

Operating our 24/7, 365-day emergency rescue service costs approximately £65,000 per year. We are a 100% volunteer-led organisation and receive no external funding—every pound comes from generous supporters like you.

So, your support is vital to us. And you can take comfort in knowing that BEAT is uniquely organised and staffed by our professional Mountain Rescue Team.

The Route

There are three routes available on the 2025 challenge.
If you want to walk without the worry of navigation, we are offering a walk guided by Brecon MRT team members on the Adventure Route.
