This is a fell race, of about 8miles (12.8km) over varied terrain, with nearly 800m of ascent, much of it in the first two miles of the course. The race includes some steep ascents and descents. Competitors need to be able to navigate, as although there are marshals at the checkpoints and at various gates/stiles around the course, the route is unmarked. Prior experience of fell running is recommended. As we cannot eliminate the risks of rough ground we recommend athletes wear trail or fell running shoes. Safety kit of map & compass, waterproof top and whistle must be carried.
This year’s race incorporates the Welsh Athletics North Wales Fell Running Championships. Entry by 2 July 2023 is required to enable eligibility to be confirmed by Welsh Athletics.
