The mountains of Eryri in all its glory ☁️⛰️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Low cloud in the morning, hiding the peaks and giving Eryri that moody, mystical feel. As the day unfolded, the cloud lifted and the runners were rewarded with some incredible views of the mountains and Eryri🏔️✨

And if we’re honest… we’re are very much riding that SkyRun Eryri race high! ⛰️🙌☁️🚀

The legs might be feeling it but the memories, the views and the energy from race day are still very much with us. 🤩🙌

Here’s to the mountains, the weather, the adventures and everyone who made SkyRun Eryri so special.

7th Edition of the Snowdon SkyRace is now underway! ☁️⛰️🤩

A fast start with a steep climb to get those calves and lungs burning. First climb up to Yr Wyddfa via the Ranger Path before the Skyrunners take on their first Grade 1 scramble over Lliwedd 🚀

Weather report: Cloud cover is making it super atmospheric while also helping to cool the runners down. Windspeeds are low, and it’s feeling fresher on the tops than it has over the last few weeks. Still super dry underfoot — the ideal skyrunning conditions, if you ask us! 🙌

FOLLOW ALONG AS THE RACE UNFOLDS 👀🏃‍♂️⛰️
