Welsh 3000s 

The Welsh 3000s is a route that takes in the 15 peaks in Wales over 3000ft. The full route for Welsh 3000s is 31 miles and 13,073 ft elevation and is traditionally a walking challenge done in 24hrs. For more info https://www.welsh3000s.co.uk/snowdon.html

Beware that the route goes over Crib Goch ridge with some scrambling, there is an alternative route (for those with vertigo or if we hit adverse weather)

We'll either use car shuttles or taxis to get to and from the start and end point. There will be an additional cost of parking or taxis for those doing the route. 

This is an inclusive run so don't worry about being too slow - if needed we can break into smaller groups
