Event summary

Peak Runners is hosting the Guided Welsh 3000s event on Friday 5th June 2020 in the Conwy Principal Area. This challenging event will take participants on a journey to conquer the 15 highest peaks in Northern Snowdonia, all over 3000ft, in one long day. With over 4200m of ascent over 3 magnificent mountain ranges, this route is not for the faint-hearted. However, with proper training and preparation, fit and experienced runners can tackle this incredible challenge. The event will cover a distance of about 26-30 miles, starting at the Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon massif, traversing the Glyderau range, and finishing with a tough section over the remote Carneddau range. Participants can expect stunning views and a sense of accomplishment as they conquer this epic adventure.

Organiser's Description

Are you ready for the 15 highest peaks in Northern Snowdonia - all over 3000ft - in one long day? The Guided Welsh 3000s in association with RAW Adventures may prove to be one of the most challenging routes you can follow in the UK mountains. With over 4200m of ascent over 3 magnificent mountain ranges, and over rocky and rough terrain in places, you’ll be forgiven for wanting to be picked up by flying angels towards your last summit! But with prior training, preparation and commitment on the day this is achievable for fit and experienced runners.

For the event - we set our sights on the Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon massif first, and descend steeply to Nant Peris. We then again ascend sharply to the Glyderau range and parade over its rocky plateau before another rocky descent to the Ogwen Valley for the final tough section over the remote Carneddau range. Distance covered will be about 26-30 miles.
