Following the sad death of our Treasurer and good friend, Ron Skilton, to Motor Neurone Disease in Dec 2005 this event was added to our Green Events calendar.

The route for the half marathon is a figure of 8, mainly off-road and approx 13 miles long. The...

The Bog Triathlon first ran in 2005, following a demand for more dirty fun around our famous Waen Rhydd Bog
The event - the most unusual in the Triathlon calender starts with a 7.5 mile (6mile for juniors) run followed by 2 lengths of the 60 yard peat bog trench and then a 19 mile (12 miles for juniors) mountain cycle. The event is open to individuals and relay teams.
If you are looking for unique, wacky and physically challenging, this is the event for you!

The bike used is specially prepared with a lead filled frame and water filled tyres to ensure grip on the pond bottom. The snorkeller/cyclist wears a lead weight belt to avoid floating off the bike! Scuba Drivers are...
These walks follow in the footsteps of the Drovers of old who used to drive their sheep, cattle or geese across the mountains to the market towns of England and Wales.
Screaming Lord Sutch, who has died aged 58, began his career as a rock singer, but went on to define himself in the public eye as a parliamentary candidate, latterly for the Official Monster Raving Loony Party.
For 30 years his manic grin and leopard skin topper were a staple part of election night entertainment. Powerful politicians - for Sutch had a penchant for standing against party leaders - not merely had their portentousness deflated by...
The Man v Horse Marathon began in June 1980 following a chat over a pint in the Neuadd Arms Hotel. The then Landlord, Gordon Green overheard two men discussing the relative merits of men and horses. The enterprising Gordon, never one to miss an opportunity to promote Llanwrtyd Wells and improve business at his hotel, decided to put it to the test. And so began Green Events and its first, longest standing and now internationally acclaimed event, The Man...

The Saturnalia was the major annual festival of the Romans held in December or January each year. It was an event of unrestrained merry making when slaves were temporarily released and reversed roles with their masters and enjoyed the Bacchanalian Frolics and fun, including games.
