Land owners

A MESSAGE OF THANKS

Thank you to all the land owners who provide access for Ultra-Trail Snowdonia by UTMB to take place across the stunning landscapes of Eryri.

The various race routes of Ultra-Trail Snowdonia travel through many parts of Eryri. The event would not be possible without the support of private land owners who grant us access to the trails in such a beautiful region of the UK.

We are grateful to the land owners who work with us to provide access to the amazing routes which Ultra-Trail Snowdonia is known for. Many of these land owners are part of the local farming community with working farms in operation during the event.

For Ultra-Trail Snowdonia to be hosted successfully, and for the benefit of all other event organisers, we ask our participants to be respectful and considerate when travelling through farmland and cooperate with the requests of local farmers.

There are three sections of the routes which travel through private farmland. We only have agreement to access these areas during the Ultra-Trail Snowdonia event weekend. Attempting to gain access at any other time of year is unauthorised and may lead to trespassing.

Participants must not travel through the farm (red dotted line), or across the private fields, as part of your training.

After leaving the Bryn Gloch Caravan and Campsite, aid station for the UTS 100M, UTS 100K and UTS 50K, the route travels towards Garreg Fawr forrest. The route used on event weekend travels through private farmland to the south of Garreg Fawr near the disused quarry. Participants must not travel across the private fields or climb fences at Garreg Fawr (red dotted line). While training, participants must exit Bryn Gloch Caravan and Campsite towards Ystrad Isaf and travel up to Garreg Fawr forest using the public rights of way (PROW) along the hillside.
