What Makes It Great

The ultimate grand tour of Eryri (Snowdonia), UTS 100M is a 163km loop through the wild heart of North Wales. Starting and finishing in Llanberis at the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the route traverses 12 major mountain passes, crossing some of Wales's highest peaks including Carnedd Llewelyn, Glyder Fawr, and Moelwyn Mawr. Runners navigate rocky scree fields, boggy moorland, and historic slate mining trails through a landscape both breathtaking and unforgiving. With 9,200m of elevation gain and a 48-hour time limit, this is widely considered one of the toughest ultra-trail events in the world.
