FAN DANCE RACE WINTER EDITION
18th JANUARY 2014
Location: Brecon Beacons
24 km mountainous route
Original and authentic course as used by the SAS
The event is a gruelling 24km non-navigational race over two sides of Pen Y Fan, the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons. This infamous route has long been a part of SAS (Special Air Service) and SBS (Special Boat Service) Selection.
The route is a real lung buster that throws everything at you, including the elements. There are steady slopes that allow a solid jogging pace, shocking inclines that have you almost on your hands and knees, loose stone tracks that require cautious foot placements and a forested vehicle track that allows for some rapid going. Even SAS recruits at the height of their physical abilities regard beating the clock in this event as a serious challenge, and all know its capacity to hurt.
What better way can there be to raise essential funds for the Royal British Legion, the original forces charity looking out for our service men, women and families during and after serving our country and laying their lives on the line in defence of our freedom.
Please help me to support their work with your sponsorship for this challenge, my most adventurous and dangerous challenge to date!
