Ras Copaon 1000m Cymru / Welsh 1000m Peaks Race is a long-standing and iconic mountain / fell race based in Eryri, North Wales. For over 50 years, it is the only race of its kind tracing a bee-line route from the coast, ascending steep valley slopes, over high summits, exciting rocky ridges and finishing at the very top of the highest mountain in Wales; Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon. Challenging but achievable for many, the Welsh 1000m Peaks Race continues to attract experienced competitors and those developing their skills to enjoy running in the mountains of Eryri. ‘Significant experience’ over similar terrain, distance and ascent will increase the efficiency and safety of competitors; and a ‘Pairs’ option may assist some competitors to experience this classic race for the first time.
