About this race
Devil in the Hills is a charity bike ride in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, raising money for Velindre. Riders select either a 42-mile route or an 85-mile route, with a fundraising target of £100 in addition to the entry fee. The event is open to participants aged 16 and over, designed for cyclists seeking a hilly challenge rather than a closed-road race.
The longer route features the Devil’s Staircase, while the shorter option includes a significant climb with the Devil’s Elbow. Velindre Patron Shane Williams participates alongside riders, adding a local sporting connection to the fundraising. The route is fully marshalled, with refreshments provided, and riders receive an event pack and number. Food is part of the finish-line tradition: burger and fries from Hills are included, alongside a limited-edition Devil’s Burger prepared for the day.
