About Running in Powys on Verus
Powys has one of the broader calendars Verus covers: 12 races spanning 5 distances, from 8 ultra marathons, 1 half marathon, 1 marathon, 1 10K and 1 5K. A county with that range is one you can train a whole year in without leaving.
The calendar is concentrated rather than continuous: 7 months of the year have something on, and October is the busiest. Worth knowing if you are planning a build — the racing here comes in clusters, so a goal race and a tune-up are not always the sensible distance apart.
Alongside the races, Powys has 4 parkruns — free, weekly, and the way a lot of people here got started.
