North Wales 50K Ultramarathon

OutFit North Wales 50K Ultra Marathon

The OutFit North Wales 50K Ultra offers a formidable trail running experience within the dramatic landscapes of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). This 50km (31.1-mile) single-loop course is crafted to deliver a concentrated yet demanding mountain ultra, providing a significant test of endurance and mountain running skill.

Course

This 50K ultra commences and concludes in the village of Betws-y-Coed, forming a single loop entirely within Eryri National Park. The course draws from the park's diverse terrain, encompassing a blend of technical mountain paths, established forest trails, and routes through valleys, often passing by lakes.

The elevation profile is substantial for its distance, featuring sustained climbs and challenging descents. While not venturing into the most remote or highest reaches covered by the longer ultra distances, the 50K provides a genuine mountain running experience. Participants will be exposed to continuous views of the iconic Welsh landscape, including dramatic mountain vistas and serene lake scenery. The cumulative effect of the varied terrain and significant elevation gain defines the route's challenging nature, making it a robust test for both aspiring and experienced mountain ultra-runners.
