ROAD CLOSURE UPDATE :

As many of you are aware the road from the southeast to Llanthony Priory has been closed due to a landslide since January. Following discussions with Valley residents and Monmouthshire County Council, we’ve been advised that the road is expected to reopen in time for the event. Construction of a permanent road begins on the 7th April, and we will monitor progress.

At this stage, the event will go ahead at Llanthony Priory a planned.

We have an alternative venue prepared as a contingency, with similar routes following the existing ones, and a decision to relocate—if required—will be made two weeks before the event.

We thank the residents of Llanthony Valley and Monmouthshire County Council for involving us in discussions and for their support in restoring access from the southeast and support for the event.

Need to make ammendments?

You can change your entered route or add a BBMC T-Shirt to your order by following the Amend Entry link on your origional entry email. If you cannot find this please drop us an email at bbmc@longtownmrt.org.uk and we can help!

More information about the day including registration details will be sent out 1-2 weeks prior to the event.

Numbers are strictly limited due to permissions with landowners and to limit the effects on the environment, landscape and safety considerations.

Forget to order your T-Shirt, or want to change the route distance? Simply go back to the registration email and use the Amend Entry function at the bottom to make any changes.

Can I enter and Fundraise for another Charity on your event?

A lot of time and effort is put into organising the BBMC to further the aims of our Charity. We would ask participants to not fundraise for other charities on our event or turn up on the day wearing clothing fundraising for other Charities. If you wish to support other charities it might be worth speaking with them first as they may run similar events that you can also take part in.
