Race Across Snowdonia

11/03/2022

Unfortunately, due to low demand, we've made the difficult decision to postpone this year's RAS and make the event biennial for the foreseeable future.

All current entrants have been notified and offered a deferral or full refund.

Hope to see you in Aberdyfi next July instead. It'll be an even more special event now! In the meantime, don't forget to watch 'Eryri: The Film', about last year's event here: https://youtu.be/Fnk43GfgUZg

Eryri: The Film 🎥 Watch it NOW: https://youtu.be/Fnk43GfgUZg

During the hottest weekend of 2021, ‘Eryri’ follows two runners as they attempt to complete the inaugural Race Across Snowdonia: a two-day footrace through Snowdonia National Park, from Aber Falls in the north, to Aberdyfi beach on the south coast.

After over a year of restrictions on Welsh outdoor events brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, this short film narrates a story of freedom, vulnerability, and the human will to endure, set to the backdrop of one of the UK’s most rugged yet beautiful National Parks.

Feeling inspired? 🙌 Entries to the 2022 event are now live: www.raceacrosssnowdonia.com

We're delighted to announce that thanks to entrants opting to forgo an event T-shirt in favour of an equal-value donation to Cymdeithas Eryri Snowdonia Society at RAS and other APEX Running events this year (Ultra-Trail Snowdonia & Snowdon SkyRace), we've managed to raise £562.30 for this wonderful charity!

After another unprecedented summer of tourism for the National Park, these donations really go a long way in helping this charity do its work. Learn more here: https://www.snowdonia-society.org.uk/mission/
