About the event

Ultra X Wales is a multi-stage ultramarathon race located in the stunning surroundings of southern Snowdonia in western Wales. This gruelling course takes participants through the northern Cambrian mountains, ridgelines, lakes, coastline and beaches of the region. It is one of few such races in the United Kingdom.The race requires participants to be well-prepared and plan ahead. Consideration must be given to pacing and the provision of food, water and electrolytes. While the organisers transport race holdalls between campsites, and provide water at checkpoints, weight management is still essential. All items should be carefully chosen to ensure health and comfort.Ultra X is open to both runners and walkers. Although the priority is to get to the finish line, participants are likely to need to alternate between the two in order to complete the five day challenge.

Course details

Course highlights

Ultra X Wales is a multi-stage ultra-marathon that takes place over two days around southern Snowdonia in western Wales. It offers two races; Ultra X 110 Wales and Ultra X 50 Wales. The event is a two-stage race taking place on Saturday and Sunday, whilst the 50 event is a single- stage race taking place on the Sunday, following the same route but starting 1 hours later. The course offers participants two looped courses starting and finishing in the event campsite, following a number of famous trails and stunning ridgelines, bagging several of the highest peaks in South Snowdonia and covering a total distance of 110km (68 miles). There are two stages, Saturday and Sunday. The first stage is 60km and will commence at 07:00. The second stage is 50km and will commence at 07:00 or 08:00. There are checkpoints stationed approximately 10km apart where competitors can access water, shelter, food and, if necessary, medical support. Competitors will camp at Race HQ at Bwlchgwyn Farm in Fairbourne on Friday and Saturday nights, where they will have access to therapist treatment, medical care and hot water. If competitors would like to camp on Sunday night this should be organised upon registration. On Saturday night, competitors will camp in the same location where they can enjoy osteopathy/physiotherapy treatment, medical care and hot water. Ultra X Wales races are both UTMB® Index Races, in the 100k and 50k categories respectively.
