1000m entries close today!
2010 1000m winner Tim Davies
Perhaps the classic of all Welsh classics takes place on the 4th of June – the Welsh 1000m race takes on special significance this year too, as the four 1000m peaks become five…
Following this news the organisers decided that Glyder Fawr should become part of the race route, now meaning that the race has over 8000ft of ascent.

This arduous event starts at Abergwyngregyn, on the shoreline of Conwy Bay, and finishes on the summit of Snowdon (3560 ft). Traditionally it has included the ascent of the four peaks over 1000 metres high in Snowdonia: Carnedds Llewelyn, Dafydd and Ugain; this year, we are planning to include Glyder Fawr (the newly measured Welsh 1000 metre peak!) in Classes A and E. The total distance that the competitors have to travel is about 32 Kilometres with approximately 8000 ft of ascent.
The role-call of winners includes fell legends such as Kenny Stuart, Gavin Bland and Angela Mudge, amongst others. Entries close today (20 May), so head on over to the race entry page and get your name down for a race you will probably never forget!
