The bike courses are all around Yr Wyddfa, including the famous Llanberis Pass while the run is on some of the best trails around, you’ll pass through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dinorwic slate quarries, before winding through beautiful forests, with glimpses of Yr Wyddfa, past the Quarry Hospital and back along the home straight through the fields and to the finish line where a warm Always Aim High Events welcome will greet you.

Please be aware that parking vans overnight in Llanberis car parks, especially the 'Lagoons' and cars or vans in residential roadside locations causes disruption for the local community and bad feeling toward events. Please ensure that you park considerately and find accommodation in recognised locations.

Llanberis and the surrounding areas offer a wide range of hotels, bed and breakfast, campsites and hostels.

Our recommendation is the Royal Victoria Hotel which is a large hotel located within easy walking distance of all the race action.

Please book your accommodation early as all hotels will be booked well in advance of the race weekend.

Please mention the Slateman Triathlon when booking your stay.
