Exercise Endurance

The toughest event in Britain.

Attracting international entries, Exercise Endurance is a low-key military style endurance march over the infamous BRECON BEACONS National Park. Carrying a 40lb (18kg approx) Bergen (rucksack) this is a serious but achievable undertaking which must be completed in boots (military or 3 season walking). Rucksack weight must comprise food/water spare clothing and emergency kit. Competitors should provide their own equipment.

"The Army have used the BRECON BEACONS as a training area for many years... now YOU can test your stamina by hauling a 40lb Bergen over these same hills."

The Event:

Distance: approx 30miles

Time Limit: 15 hours

KIT: 40 lb (rucksack) to be carried (consumable food & drink extra). Bergens will be weighed before, during and after the event.
