SLEEPWALKER 2009 is on for the 28th of November 18:00 from Talybont on Usk, Powys. The 20 Mile Night-Time Trail Race held under UK Athletics / Trail Running Association rules (Permit 105=09) is now in its 3rd successful year. 

First run in 2007 and set to become a modern classic, it appeals to fast runners and challenge runners alike. Starting from Talybont on Usk, the route climbs steadily through the ancient forests of the Talybont valley, offering spectacular starlit views of the reservoir and mountains beyond. Water is available at the Neuadd Reservoir, about 8 miles in, with a fantastic flat forest section to follow , before a couple of miles on a minor road brings you to checkpoint 3, where hot tea went down well last year (it was -5C), followed by the most testing part of the course. Climbing past Dolygaer Outdoor centre, you're now heading for home - just a barren windswept moorland section at nearly 2000 feet high to cross, skirting round the crags at the end then it's flat out downhill all the way back to Talybont. Showers, refreshments, even a pint (if you're fast enough) await.

New Course Record is 3:06 (Army 2008)

Last year the Army scored well taking 1,2 and 4 with Les Croupiers RC taking a closely contested 3rd.
