About the trail

All you need to do is decide which challenge is right for you, then visit the registration page and get your team of four signed up! There's a small registration fee of £10.00 per team member plus a sponsorship ask of £500 on the full Taff event and £250 for taking part in the half Taff event. All participants will receive a Taff Trail Challenge t-shirt and bike disc for use during the event.

The Full Taff Cycle Challenge

Join us for the tenth anniversary of one of the most beautifully scenic cycling challenges that Wales has to offer, as we follow the historic Taff Trail from Brecon to Cardiff Bay.

The 55 mile (88km) route takes you along some of the most picturesque views of the Welsh valleys and villages as we follow the Taff Trail along former railway lines, canal paths, tram roads, stunning reservoirs and viaducts.

After starting your challenge in the beautiful market town of Brecon, you will immediately see this multi-purpose route start to open up in front of you, and it won't be long before you see how the Taff Trail manages to bring the countryside into the town.

Your team will then make their way to the ever developing city centre and the finish line at The Roald Dahl Plas in Cardiff Bay. It is here that you will receive your heroes welcome, and a great sense of personal achievement.

Teams of four riders are invited to take part, and you will need to be 16 years old or above to enter our Full Taff Trail Cycle Challenge.

Of course, successfully completing the Full Taff Trail is only half of your overall challenge, so why not set your team a fundraising target (minimum £500).

The Half Taff Cycle Challenge

If you prefer a slightly less energetic ride, then why not take up our increasingly popular Half Taff Trail Cycle Challenge which is now in its fifth year.

Teams of four riders are invited to take up this part of the challenge, and you will need to be 13 years old or above to enter (Participants under 16 must be accompanued by a responsible adult).

The 28 mile (44km) route starts at Rhydacar Leisure Centre in MerthyrTydfil, and heads off along the towpath of the former Glamorganshire Canal and passes small Welsh valley towns that are rich in industrial archaeology.

From here, you will also be joining up with the Full Taff riders as they make their way down from the start of the Full Taff Challenge at Brecon.

Like the Full Taff, riding is only half of your challenge, so why not set your team a fundraising target too (minimum £250).
