The X-TR100 LT Duo Relay 50 is a new relay event that promises to be X-TREME!

Each team of two runners must cover 50 miles each, whilst supporting each other’s nutrition and kit requirements. Your car is your checkpoint. No pacers are allowed for the runner.

Running through the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park and the Black Mountains of South Wales, and with nearly 25,000 feet of total elevation, this is no small feat.

The first team member to complete the first 50 miles will have a recommended rest period to eat and sleep before switching to support their teammate, who will then reverse the 50 miles to complete the challenge. This twist ensures both participants need to be on top form to support each other.

This is the inaugural event of its kind in our area. The combination of technical trails, elevation and diverse terrain, make it a unique and demanding race in these mountains.

Starting in the evening means that both runners will experience running through the night, adding another layer of challenge and excitement.

Finishers will receive a unique medal, split into two parts that lock together, symbolizing the deep connection and trust between team members.
