calculate.spice.young 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.

Eryri (Snowdonia) The Crossing 2024
We’re back at our stunning location on the shores of Llyn Cwellyn nr Rhyd Ddu in the heart of Snowdonia (Eryri). Set at Bron Fedw Uchaf farm on the quieter side of the mountain ranges our new route, will give you a chance to explore the open mountains around Snowdon, before summiting Snowdon on your last climb before the decent to the finish.
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.
All routes summit Snowdon itself, be it near the start or near the finish of your chosen distance.
If you choose the 55K option, we feel safe saying this will be the toughest 55k event you’ve done in Snowdonia! But all distances are tough, with lots of elevation and technical running.
This year prices include personal gps trackers for each runner in all distances.
We will have our event partners with us in the event village, Ellis Brigham Mountain Sports and UCAN UK along with out event caterers.
Camping is available on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th July.
Please note this event unfortunately is not canicross friendly.
