Taking place on Saturday October 7th 2023, the eighth annual Buff® Winter Trail Wales will take on the half marathon 13.1 mile route across the same stunning trails and tracks of the world-renowned Coed y Brenin Forest Park in the Snowdonia National Park which hosts the Salomon Trail Marathon Wales in June – but in Winter conditions!

​

The 2023 race will have its traditional start-time of 10.30am.

Of course, you could be looking at snow, frost, crystal clear blue skies or rain and mud, and that is the beauty of the Buff® Winter Trail Wales, we won’t know ’til race day. What we do know is that you can expect the same great organisation, welcome, atmosphere and fun of Trail Marathon Wales.

​

Entries to the 2023 race will open on 21st October 2022 and we expect the 800 places to be snapped up in days!

​

NOTE: Should the race be affected by Covid 19 UK Government Guidance and we have to cancel the race, ALL ENTRIES will be automatically deferred to 2024. There will be no Virtual Winter Trail Wales in 2023. 

​

Please refer to our standard Terms and Conditions for normal deferral / refund policies.

The Buff® Winter Trail Wales utilises as many local suppliers and contractors as possible and aim to ensure that the local economy and mid-Wales community is affected in positive manner by the event, with that support hopefully being reciprocated ensuring that Winter Trail Wales is an event that the local and national Welsh community can be proud of in one of the most beautiful areas of the UK.
