radically.yell.tissue Google MapsWe have wonderfully stocked checkpoints, that include a large range of products.
One of our partners UCAN Uk supply us with our hydration and energy powders. They also supply gels and bars if that is the option you prefer.
UCAN Uk products are 100% natural and completely sugar free - You do not need sugar and the drop off when you are running. These products are healthier, far better at delivery hydration and energy and you don't get the sugar low.
They use a 'SuperStarch' which is a complex carbohydrate (derived from non-GMO corn) that uniquely stabilises blood sugar levels.

Snowdonia – Autumn Crossing
We’re back at our brand new location on the shores of Llyn Cwellyn nr Rhyd Ddu in the heart of Snowdonia. Set at Bron Fedw Uchaf farm on the quieter side of the mountain range our new routes will give you a chance to explore the less popular trails in the area.
The Autumn Crossing gives you the opportunity to run the Spring Crossing but in reverse. The routes will summit Snowdon on the first climb of your run before heading out towards the mountain ranges and forestry’s to the west with the most spectacular sea views.
We have distances from 15k – 55k to choose from and all will test your abilities and mental strength. This is by far our hardest race on our calendar so please check the routes before you enter, after all this is Snowdonia.
Price for marathon and ultra now includes gps trackers for all runners.
This event is not canicross friendly.
