OGWEN YR HELGI DU- NEW RACE DISTANCE & NEW DATE IN CALENDAR
After two successful editions, the Ogwen | Yr Helgi Du mountain races are back for their 3rd year in 2026; this time in a brand-new slot on the calendar: Sunday, 12th April 2026.
Kicking off the season in style, this race is not only an epic challenge in its own right, but also the perfect training race for those gearing up for mountain races later in the season, including Snowdonia Trail Marathon Eryri!
With 3 courses to choose from: 15k (new course), 25k, and 40k (certified International Skyrunning Federation course)
Join us in the stunning Ogwen Valley, exploring quieter trails than the popular Eryri areas, but every bit as spectacular!
This race provides an accessible skyline race that will test the experienced but also provide enough support to those looking to take their mountain running to the next level.
Entries are now open.
