Event information
If a runner begins a lap but does not complete it within the 24-hour period, it will NOT count towards the total for that runner or team. In the event of a tiebreak on the number of ascents and descents, the fastest will win!
To add to the excitement and motivation individuals, pairs and teams can set the goal of achieving one of the following awards. Awards will take the shape of a unique local slate that marks the highest level achieved.
3 times ascend and descend – Snowdon Triple Award
5 times ascend and descend – Mont Blanc Award
7 times ascend and descend – Kilimanjaro Award
10 times ascend and descend – the ultimate Everest Award!
A UTMB INDEX EVENT
Mandatory to enter the UTMB Mont-Blanc lottery, a valid UTMB Index is achieved by completing at least one race of the UTMB World Series or a UTMB Index race in the relevant category within the previous 24 months.
Snowdon24 offers 50k, two 100k and 100-mile UTMB classification challenges, which will be submitted for UTMB indexing for all solo participants.

Organiser's description
Yr Wyddfa, or Snowdon in English, is the highest mountain in Snowdonia, and also the whole of England and Wales. It peaks at an impressive 1,085 m (3,560 feet).
Starting and finishing at the foot of this iconic mountain, you will be challenged as an individual, or part of a team, to ascend and descend Snowdon as many times as possible in 24 hours.
Being UTMB Indexed, this is also a great qualifying or preparation race for UTMB Mont Blanc. The individual challenges mean that there is a 50k, 100k and 100m mile UTMB indexed challenge.
Categories for solo runners, pair relay and team (up to 5) relay. Pair and team entries receive one timing chip, meaning only one person will be running at one time.
