Ogwen | Yr Helgi Du is a set of mountain running events in Eryri's Ogwen Valley, with the event base at Plas y Brenin, Capel Curig. The races take place on marked trails that include technical mountain terrain and sections across some of the highest mountains in England and Wales.
Routes follow the Carneddau skyline and the longest option also traverses the Glyderau range, adding additional ascent and ridge running. The event offers three distances:
- 40K - includes the Glyderau range and extensive mountain terrain.
- 25K - follows high ridge and valley trails in the Ogwen area.
- 15K - shorter mountain route using marked technical trails.
The event village provides music, commentary, shopping, food, drink and toilets. On-course support includes marshals, signage, energy stations, support vehicles and mountain leader support on the trails. Timing is provided by chip timing with online results. Finishers receive uniquely designed mementos that reflect the event location and local history.
Signs, registration and commentary are available in English and Welsh. Organisers note involvement with local communities and environmental measures as part of the event planning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
