No reviews of the Eryri 50K, and nothing on what people wore. Both are things no organiser publishes and every runner wants before they enter — how it actually went, and what was on your feet.

The course

What you’re in for

Fifty-six kilometres from Llanberis with 3,400 m of ascent, including Yr Wyddfa itself, threading the Snowdon massif. Runnable in places and highly technical in others, with rocky slabs and narrow ridge lines. Fourteen hours. UTMB pitch it as the step towards Alpine-scale mountain ultras, which is a fair description of the ground.

EXPERT

Snowdon, Grib Goch, Glyder Fawr, Y Garn & Elidir Fawr from Llanberis Trail Running Route

29.1km · 2,306m climb · Loop · 0.2km away

Crib Goch is one of the most exposed ridges in Britain, and this route puts it in the middle of a big mountain day rather than as the whole objective, so you get the scramble and a proper crossing into the Glyderau either side of it.

Checked Jul 2026

VERY HARD

Yr Wyddfa via Llanberis Path

16.2km · 959m climb · Out & back · 0.2km away

It's the most runnable line to the summit of Yr Wyddfa, following the rack railway most of the way up, so you can move fast on genuinely good underfoot conditions rather than picking through rock.

EXPERT

Yr Wyddfa via Miners' Track, Pyg Track and Crib Goch

12.0km · 710m climb · Loop · 8.5km away

Most people treat the Miners' and Pyg Tracks as a straightforward there-and-back pairing, but this GPX shows the loop actually crossing Crib Goch, which changes the entire character of the day.

Common questions

: The Eryri 50K is one distance: 50K (31.1 miles).
: No course file for the Eryri 50K yet, so there's no measured climb here. When Eryri by UTMB publish one, this fills in.
: Not graded yet. A TRP grade is worked out from distance and climb measured off the course file, and there isn't one for the Eryri 50K yet.
: Yes, the course is marked. Navigation skills are not required.
: We don't hold a compulsory kit list for the Eryri 50K. Eryri by UTMB confirm mandatory kit in their race information, usually in the final instructions.
: We don't hold published time limits for the Eryri 50K. If Eryri by UTMB set cut-offs, they'll be in the race information.
: We don't hold a checkpoint list for the Eryri 50K. What's on the table varies a lot between races, so check the Eryri by UTMB race information rather than turning up expecting food.
: Not yet — we don't hold a course file for the Eryri 50K. Some organisers only send the GPX to entrants. If we get one, it goes up free, with no sign-up.
: No date announced. When Eryri by UTMB confirm the next Eryri 50K, it appears here and on the race calendar.
