The Winter Trail Gaeaf powered by SUUNTO will take place on Saturday February 15th 2025. 

 

Launched in 2024 this new 7-mile route received rave reviews for it's challenging terrain but stunning beauty, as it takes in some wonderful singletracks and footpaths in the beauty of the world-renowned Coed y Brenin Forest Park in the Eryri National Park. Featuring such highlights as Goshawk, Ferndale, Slab climb, Karrimor descent and of course the wonderful Sting in the Tail!

​

Priced at £28 (plus online booking fee) we feel that Winter Trail Gaeaf represents one of the best value-for-money trail events on the race calendar.

** Entries to the 2025 race will open on Tuesday the 1st of October at our early bird offer price of £25 (plus online booking fee) until the 31st of October - a saving of 15% on our standard pricing of £28 (plus online booking fee) which will kick-in on November 1st. **

 

....and we expect the 600 places to be snapped-up fast!

​

Of course, you could be looking at snow, frost, crystal clear blue skies or rain and mud, and that is the beauty of this wonderful forest habitat, we won’t know ’til race day. What we do know is that you can expect the same great organisation, welcome, atmosphere of our much-loved Coed y Brenin trail running events.

Being on a Saturday, we also hope that may runners and families will stay on for the weekend in one of the numerous local hostels, cabins, hotels and bed and breakfasts that surround Coed y Brenin.
