Am y Ras – About The Race

Ras Copaon 1000m Cymru / Welsh 1000m Peaks Race is a long-standing and iconic mountain/fell race, based in Eryri, North Wales.

For over 50 years, it is the only race of its kind tracing a bee-line route from the coast, through steep mountain cwms, over rocky summits, exciting technical ridges and finishing at the very top of the highest mountain in Wales; Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon.

Challenging but achievable for many, the Welsh 1000m Peaks Race continues to attract those experienced or new to running in Eryri mountains.
