X-Eryri

The third outing of the X-Eryri is scheduled to take place on the weekend of the 29th and 30th of April 2023 with a backup of the following weekend: 6th and 7th should the weather force its postponement. This year it will be part of a series with the X-Lakes and X-Scotia to deliver a H & F overall winner for the UK. It will be based out of Llanberis and competitors will need to be able to arrive and be present for the briefing on the evening of the Friday before the race. If you cannot make this briefing then please do not enter as you will be disqualified. The X-Eryri is a hike and fly challenge with the added opportunity of being a vol biv adventure should you so choose. It is based within the catchment area of Snowdonia Sky Sports which covers the vast majority of Snowdonia National Park. The race will start on Saturday morning from Llanberis and you will then have until late afternoon on the Sunday to get as many points as you can and return to Llanberis. Most of the turn points (TP) are mountain tops. Depending on the TP’s proximity to the start it gives them different values, the further away the more they are worth. You have to make a judgement based on your skill level, fitness, the weather, the terrain, other competitors and how much you want to throw the dice as to the route you decide to take.
