73km / 1700vm
Prepare for three spectacular timed stages set amidst the stunning terrain of the Cambrian Mountains. The challenge begins with a classic route through Esgair Dafydd, culminating in a thrilling descent to Llyn Brianne. From there, riders face the toughest test of the weekend as the course heads deep into the Tywi Forest. After a gentler stretch, the route circles back to Llyn Brianne for a final off-road timed stage around its dramatic perimeter.

55km / 1300vm
After an untimed climb to get the legs turning again, the first special stage begins at the remote heart of Cwm Berwen. A well-earned feed station follows, offering stunning views towards Tregaron. A short, scenic stretch of tarmac then leads riders into Esgair Ganol for the second timed stage, before the final test brings the action to a close on the iconic dam wall of Llyn Brianne.
