The Fan Dance: Test Your Mettle on a Legendary Path

Dare to take on a challenge steeped in history? The Fan Dance is an iconic endurance event, directly inspired by the rigorous selection process of the UK's elite Special Forces (SAS/SBS). This isn't just a race; it's a formidable test of physical and mental resilience, set amidst the breathtaking yet unforgiving landscapes of the Brecon Beacons, Wales.

The Challenge:

The Fan Dance covers a gruelling 24-kilometer (approx. 15-mile) route over Pen y Fan, the highest peak in Southern Britain. Participants will face the notorious ascent of Pen y Fan, descend on the far side via "Jacob's Ladder," follow an old Roman road, and then turn to face the infamous return leg – including a second ascent of Pen y Fan. This course demands unwavering determination, mimicking the exact test used for Special Forces candidates for over 60 years.
