Small, local team organising a superb event. No stuffiness. Lots of smiles. Checkpoints nicely spaced, well stocked, including hot drinks (snow on top of Pen Y Fan made those very welcome); cheerful & helpful marshals, mountain rescue on hand in case of emergencies, clearly marked navigation with blue flags at vital junctions. Race HQ was dry & warm (solid building not a marquee) with plenty of space for faffing with kit & loads of food on return. Loos on site.  V generous facilities for the entry fee. Bling was unusual - no medal but a slate, engraved coaster - nice touch. Course is relatively easy for a Beacons event - "only" 1400m ascent - but it depends on your ability. Nice mix of single track, forestry roads, boggy sections, and a couple of short road sections. Views will depend on the weather but potentially stunning. At this time of year, very few other people / walkers / runners around. Will go into my race calendar for next year.
