A 30 mile challenge into the HEART of WALES and the source of the River Severn.
Join us as we set-off to discover the HEART of WALES and 30 miles of true welsh beauty. An ultra marathon designed to discover everything mid Wales has to offer. Starting from the town of Llanidloes, the route takes in the Sarn, Glyndwr’s Way, Severn Way and Wye Valley Walk. Heading out towards the breath taking Clywedog Reservoir, stepping on to the infamous Glyndwr’s Way, then onwards to the HEART of WALES and the source of the River Severn before heading back to the picturesque town of Llanidloes.
The Heartlands of Wales
The Heartlands of Wales circular is a spectacular combination of 4 trails merged into 1. Meandering through the heartlands of Wales, the route takes in the Sarn, Glyndwr’s Way, Severn Way and Wye Walk in what must be one of the most spectacular areas of Wales.
Point of interest
The Clywedog reservoir is a reservoir near Llanidloes, Wales on the head-waters of the River Severn. Don’t worry, you won’t miss it.
In 2025 we had a record number of runners, a 100% finish rate and our female runners outnumbered our male runners. Challenge your perceived limits in a safe, supportive and friendly environment. Join us for the HOWUM in 2025!

Although we want our participants to challenge themselves, we don’t believe you have to run your heart out to do so. Take in the scenery, have a chat with a local, but most of all… enjoy the adventure!
In terms of Checkpoints, there are 3 along the route. They will be fully manned and stocked with snacks, fresh fruit, drinks (hot and cold), seats, power banks and music . Please include your dietary requirements when signing up, and we will accommodate accordingly.

A friendly ‘welcome to the party’ (event) email will be sent to the email address you registered with. Be sure to join the super duper Pegasus Community Group on Facebook here and get to know your fellow runners – we promise they won’t bite!
The next time you will hear from us (directly) will be in the form of an email 6 weeks before your chosen event, then another email 4 weeks before the event and a final email 2 weeks before the event.
Alas that isn’t the last communication – please keep an eye on your mobile for a phone call from our Race Director a couple of days before the event is due to take place – don’t worry you haven’t done anything wrong – it’s a peace of mind call to make sure you are ready for the big day!
