Find your trail legs in North Wales
Always fancied trail running, but don't know where to start? This adventure is designed with you in mind! If you have little or no experience running off-road on technical, rocky trails, this trip will help you to find your feet and get you ready for one of our overseas adventures.
Itinerary
- Day one: Welcome to Wales! Arrive at your accommodation, put your feet up, or wander through the quaint mountain town of Llanberis. On the first evening you’ll meet up with your fellow runners and guides for the weekend. Our team will brief everyone on the routes, weather conditions and requirements for the following days, and answer any questions.
- Day two: After breakfast and a final kit check we will head off to hit the trails. Through farmland, moors and mountain trails, high up into the hills of Snowdonia. We'll show you how to tackle various types of terrain, uphill and downhill techniques, running with poles and what to eat on the trails. After a hot shower, enjoy a hearty dinner with the team. Expected time on trails: 6 hours. Breakfast and dinner included.
- Day three: We'll pick a different area and new terrain to work on your new found techniques. There will also be time to explain basic navigation and route-planning. Expected time on trails: 6 hours. Breakfast included.
