The day will begin in Brecon, with the relay starting at 9:00am at Brynich Lock (LD3 7UY). Due to limited parking at the start location, spectators are encouraged to gather at the canal basin in Brecon, where the relay can be viewed from 10:00am onwards. The Brecon leg will conclude at 10:30am at Theatr Brycheiniog.

In the afternoon, the relay will continue in the Elan Valley. The Elan Valley Baton Relay will begin at 1:00pm at the top of the first dam, Caban Coch (LD6 5HP), and will finish at 2:30pm. The event will be followed by community celebrations, offering an opportunity for residents and visitors to come together and enjoy the occasion.

Councillor Glyn Preston, Powys County Council’s Cabinet Member for a More Prosperous Powys, said:
“These events are a fantastic opportunity to bring our communities together while celebrating local and international sporting success. The fact they are taking place on Father’s Day makes them even more special, and I would encourage residents to come along with their families and be part of this memorable occasion.”

Councillor Raiff Devlin, Cabinet Member for Customers, Digital and Community Services, added:
“We are proud to host such inspiring events here in Powys. With so many baton bearers taking part and top-class athletes attending, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. It’s a great way to celebrate Father’s Day by spending time together and supporting our communities.”

Rebecca Edwards-Symmons added:
“The King’s Baton Relay is a powerful symbol of unity and inspiration. Seeing it travel through Powys, connecting our communities from Brecon to the Elan Valley, is a truly special moment. We look forward to welcoming residents and visitors alike to celebrate, support our baton bearers, and enjoy everything these events have to offer.”
