Capel Curig, United Kingdom • 18 Jul 2026

Welsh 3000 Challenge (14 Peaks) is a Snowdonia mountain challenge organized by Climb South West, based near Capel Curig. The route climbs all 14 peaks over 3000 ft in a continuous journey, with iconic stops such as Snowdon, Crib Goch, and the Glyderau and Tryfan, finishing through the Carneddau range. The course spans about 50km and roughly 4000m of ascent.

It offers two guided options: a 20-hour run or a 2-day walk, with a low guide-to-participant ratio, navigation support, and refuelling at key points.
