Adventure Awaits thrives on challenges and participants enjoy having something to aim for, a training goal and pushing themselves to realise their dreams and goals. There are a number of mountain challenges, cycling challenges and running challenges at different levels of difficulty that we organise so there really is something for everyone.
The Welsh 3000's is a 24 hour challenge requiring you to summit the 15 mountains in North Wales that are over 3,000ft.
This is a tough 30 mile point to point challenge with 4,000 metres of height gain. You will need to be fit and have confidence moving over rocky ground but can be completed comfortably by anyone. The route starts with a hike up the most iconic mountain in Wales, Snowden before covering the mountain ranges of the Glyders and the Carneddau.
We will provide you with a qualified Mountain Leader to guide you safely across all the peaks. We also provide extensive hot and cold food at checkpoints keeping you moving. Being a point to point challenge we also sort out all the logistics of getting teams back to the start.

Leaving at four hours before sunrise you will hike up Snowdon's slopes guided by torchlight and your watchful host. The pace will always be leisurely and plenty of breaks will be taken so that you can enjoy the experience.
We will reach the summit shortly before sunrise where we will watch the beautiful sunrise at the top of Wales' tallest mountain as it slowly rises to the west.
After enjoying hot drinks and a light breakfast we will start our descent in daylight where views over the Glyderau mountain ranges, the Menai Straits and out to sea. Fully satisfied and tired we will arrive back in Llanberis with a full day for you to enjoy the rest of the sights in and around Snowdonia's national park.

The
Snowdon traverse is a 25km 360 degree circumnavigation of Snowdon completed by either
trekking or
trail running with a total ascent of 1850 metres.
The route starts and finishes in Llanberis initially climbing to Clogwyn Station on the Llanberis path. After this we leave the paths behind and traverse Snowdon including scrambling on Gribin (Grade 1),
The navigation is tricky and the route has steep technical ascents and descents so you need to be an experienced and confident trail runner or trekker to take part.
We recently wrote a blog on the traverse and it's hidden gems and the crowd free trails that can read here .
