A new date on the calendar, this must-do event is like an outdoor, hardcore version of the Crystal Maze.

Teams of four navigate their way up and over the Brecon Beacons for around 8 hours, tackling a variety of challenges en route. On top of the 10k hike/run and 35k cycling elements, each challenge will test the team’s brains as well as brawn, from lateral thinking, to memory, to observation and problem solving (with some ultra-intensive physical tests in between).

The tasks and course remain secret until the night before the event – the only way to gain clues early is to exceed the £2,000 sponsorship they need to raise for Marie Curie Cancer Care to guarantee a place. “To win, or even come close to winning, you need a combination of fitness, speed, agility, brain power and teamwork – any one of these on its own won’t work,” says course designer Mark Cunningham.
