Ultra X Wales

Ultra X Wales takes place in and around southern Snowdonia in western Wales. This unique and challenging course explores the northern Cambrian mountains and the ridgelines, lakes, coastline and beaches of southern Snowdonia. Ultra X Wales is one of only a handful of multi-stage ultramarathon races in the United Kingdom.

An Ultra X race is the ultimate test of preparation. A participant who has planned and trained well will be a successful one. It is just as important that participants calculate their water, electrolyte and food requirements, as it is their pacing during this five day adventure.

This is not a self-supported race. Participants only need to carry their daily provisions of mandatory safety equipment, nutrition, and hydration. Race holdalls are transported between campsites by the organisers and water is resupplied at checkpoints approximately 10km apart. However, weight management is still crucial and runners are advised to only bring items which are essential to their health and comfort.

Ultra X welcomes both runners and walkers. All participants will likely be doing a combination of the two in order to get to the finish line, which is the most important thing.
