Snowdon Training Weekend

SNOWDON TRAINING WEEKEND: 7 - 9th June 2018

Jez Bragg, the only UK male to win the UTMB, used Snowdon as his training ground and developed the “Snowdon Dance” (the Snowdon version of the Fan Dance – SAS Selection). The idea is that you run up and down Snowdon to different points over a day from early in the morning till late in the evening.
If you are serious about finishing your UTMB race this is a must.
