Next edition
This is the most relevant confirmed edition currently held for the permanent race family. Edition-specific facts should still be checked against the final organiser instructions.
Expand an edition to inspect its year-specific facts. Other years never replace the primary edition facts.
These facts belong to the 2026 edition only. Missing values have not been copied from another year.
The organiser confirms a 07:00 Llanberis start, 286K, 11,300m and 108-hour limit to Storey Arms, with solo and team categories. Price is left unknown because the primary event copy does not publish one consistently.

Very hard
Limited input evidence · 35% evidence coverage
The main recorded demands are substantial race distance, high climbing demand, accumulated fatigue and format burden. Course difficulty and cutoff pressure describe different challenges: more approachable terrain can still require a demanding pace to beat the deadline. Neither score assesses your personal fitness, safety or readiness.
Difficulty V2's separate time-limit modifier adds 0.00 points here and is capped at 0.70; a broad limit cannot erase extreme intrinsic demand. This is independent of the public Cutoff Pressure V2 band. Evidence coverage describes the recorded inputs, not prediction accuracy or your likelihood of finishing.
Course analysis
Expect sustained upland ground and meaningful climbing, sections where foot placement and downhill confidence matter, exposed moorland where weather can amplify the difficulty.
Climbing density
46.4m per km
A more useful comparison than total ascent alone: it shows how consistently the course asks you to climb.
Cutoff analysis
To finish inside 120h, the raw average required is 24:25 per kilometre (39:17 per mile), including every stop.
Cutoff pressure compares the published time limit with distance, ascent and verified course demands. Lower pressure does not mean the race is easy. Raw pace includes checkpoints, food stops, navigation errors and any sleep; it is not a pacing plan.
Who this suits
There is not enough verified information to assess first-ultra suitability yet.
Exposure & kit
Night-running exposure has not been verified for this edition. Check the organiser’s latest schedule, route information and final kit rules.
Personal race predictor
No current compatible predictor target is available for this family. The selected edition may be complete or cancelled, awaiting a successor, non-standard, or missing model-critical course evidence; older facts are not substituted.
Practical detail
Logistics are only shown where currently recorded. Confirm parking, transport, crew access and final aid-station plans with the organiser.
Latest verification
Field-scoped review 2026-10-28: The organiser explicitly confirms Monday 20 September 2027 at 07:00, 295km, 13,700m ascent and a 120-hour limit. The entry route is offered. The calendar finish date is left unknown because the metadata repeats the start timestamp instead of the actual finish. Unverified edition-specific facts remain unknown.
Still unverified: entry price.
Event details can change after a successful source check. Confirm the final route, kit, cutoff, price and entry terms directly with the organiser before entering or travelling.
