This 83-mile trail takes you on a journey back in time, to when Snowdonia was at the centre of the world’s slate industry. Split into 13 logical route sections, we aim to achieve this magnificent route in 3 guided ‘luxe’ running days. For our 3 Day Guided Luxe Running event, we’re looking at moving through the terrain at a consistent pace, but not forgetting to take in our surroundings and appreciate where we are. This is quiet, magical Snowdonia…with atmosphere, history and personality oozing from every stone wall, steam, quarry enclosure and village café. You will meet so much of this charismatic area in your 3 days that we’ll forgive you for being overwhelmed...which is why we make time each evening to reflect upon and enjoy where we’ve been, discuss our surroundings and really appreciate how this unique National Park ticks... For runners who enjoy long days out in mixed terrain – on and off path, these 3 guided days will introduce to another world, but with comfortable accommodation and time for refuelling and socialising each evening. Come back down to earth with a bump each night...and return home full of more love for the majesty of Eryri. This is the spell of the Snowdonia Slate Trail. Run well, eat well, sleep well.
