The UK's Toughest Multisport Races
Awarded the Event of the Year (2021) in the Welsh Triathlon Awards, The Snowman is well known as the toughest multi-terrain triathlon & duathlon in the UK; it is the ultimate challenge and not for the faint-hearted.
The Snowman encompasses all that the adventure playground of North Wales offers and is infamous for a reason - just when you think you’re done, there is a different challenge you’re not expecting. An exciting, adrenaline-fuelled, and truly epic and unforgettable experience; completing The Snowman is a tick that every triathlete wants.
Supporting The Mountain Adventure Fund
Our headline charity partner for The Snowman Triathlon, Duathlon and Swims is The Mountain Adventure Fund, an initiative of the Mountain Training Trust, who operate at Plas y Brenin to offer children from financially disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to be inspired by the outdoors, helping to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
If you would like to support The Mountain Adventure Fund as part of your journey, simply select the box on your booking form when entering. There is no minimum amount! Every penny counts! There are also a number of free tickets available for fundraisers. If you would like to apply for a free space (minimum sponsorship £200), please contact Roz Howling.
