Get up. Get out. Get mucky.
A firm fixture in the trail race calendar with special significance for so many of the event's lovely runners.
The Betws-y-coed Trail Challenge is the original Mucky Boots trail event. Since 2013 it has been striving to become the top class trail race it is today and has an enviable reputation; friendly, inclusive, sustainable, runner-focused, and above all else fun and rewarding for everyone taking part - runners, spectators, organisers, marshals and volunteers.
Starting and finishing in the beautiful village of Betws-y-coed - the Gateway to Snowdonia - the spectacular routes take you through Gwydir Forest and up around Llyn Elsi for astounding views.
If you’ve run it before, welcome back. If you haven’t, come and see what the fuss is about.
This event is part of Betws-y-coed Trail Challenge.
Start time for the 5K to be confirmed.
