Not all lakes are created equal. And Fforest Fields proves that smaller doesn’t mean less epic.
When you’re standing on the shore of a vast body of water for the first time, paddle in hand, it’s natural to feel a flutter of nerves. But what if that lake was intimate enough to feel manageable, yet big enough to deliver a proper challenge? Welcome to Fforest Fields—the smallest lake in the 2027 SUPBIKERUN lineup, and quite possibly the most perfectly sized for every kind of adventurer.
For the Nervous Beginner: Your Confidence Builder
If paddle boarding is new to you, or if you’ve always been a bit nervous about open water, Fforest Fields is your secret weapon.
The smaller lake means you’re never far from shore. Your paddling instructor can see you clearly. The water feels manageable—not intimidating. You can focus on technique, balance, and the pure joy of being on the water without the mental load of a massive expanse stretching to the horizon.
This is where confidence is built. You’ll nail your paddle strokes. You’ll master your balance. You’ll discover that paddleboarding isn’t scary—it’s exhilarating. And by the time you cross the finish line, you won’t just have completed an event; you’ll have unlocked a whole new skill that opens doors to future adventures.
Many of our participants come to their first SUPBIKERUN nervous about the paddle leg. By Fforest Fields, they’re hooked.
For the Seasoned Racer: Your Technical Playground
Here’s what experienced paddleboarders know: tight spaces demand precision.
Fforest Fields’ smaller lake is a technical racer’s dream. Those buoy turns? They’re sharp, demanding, and perfect for practicing your racing line. Sprint sections are intense because you’re constantly navigating turns and managing your line against other competitors. There’s no room for sloppy technique—every stroke counts.
If you’re chasing a personal best, if you want to sharpen your competitive edge, or if you’re training for bigger water challenges, Fforest Fields forces you to be precise. It’s the kind of venue that makes you a better paddler.
The Venue: 75 Years of Welsh Magic
But Fforest Fields is so much more than just a lake.
Nestled in the heart of mid-Wales, Fforest Fields is a family-run farm that’s been welcoming adventurers for over 75 years. The landscape is stunning—rolling hills, ancient forests, and that unmistakable Welsh sense of being a world away from your day-to-day life.
The camping is award-winning. Seriously. People rave about it. You’ll pitch your tent on beautiful grounds, wake up to Welsh hills, and fall asleep under stars with your new crew. The facilities are fantastic, and the vibe is that rare blend of well-run and genuinely welcoming.
Beyond the lake, you’ve got miles of trails for cycling and running. Whether you’re tackling the MTB or road bike option, the terrain is spectacular. And the running leg? Trail running through Welsh countryside is something special.
The Full SUPBIKERUN Experience
Fforest Fields 2027 isn’t just about the paddle. It’s about the whole weekend.
You can arrive on Friday, set up camp, and settle into that feeling of being part of something bigger. Saturday morning it’s all about the paddle boarding coaching, and Sunday it’s main event as you paddle, bike, and run across one of the most beautiful corners of the UK. You’ll push yourself. You’ll discover what you’re capable of. And you’ll do it surrounded by 250+ like-minded adventurers who get it.
By Sunday afternoon, when you’re packing up camp, you won’t be thinking about the small lake. You’ll be thinking about the friendships you’ve made, the trails you’ve conquered, and the fact that you just completed a multi-sport event in one of the most stunning venues in the UK.
