If you are looking for a challenge, the Snowdonia Trail Race is up there with the toughest in the U.K. A punishing and beautiful experience in equal measure, ensure this one is on your bucket list. Luke Royle (2019) RaceCheck

Absolutely AMAZING day - so well signposted, not the slightest chance of getting lost and wonderful camaraderie amongst all runners. I met some really wonderful people at various points on the course and it really keeps you going strong!!! Anonymous post-event feedback 2023

Race village, route marking, feed stations, marshals, views and sense of achievement at the very highest standard. Do it! Matt Hall (2022) RaceCheck

As a local Welsh company the organiser's goal is to showcase the beautiful natural environment without causing harm. Event since their first race in 2011, they have avoided plastic bottles, offered locally-sourced Welsh slate finisher mementoes and have lead on sustainability in events.
