Ultra X Wales

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.
