You will be welcomed at registration by Meg and the team from Prostate Cancer Research and get motivated for the day ahead with the opportunity to meet other excited walkers and feel that pre-challenge buzz! You will then be introduced to your mountain leader for the all-important safety briefing, before getting our laces tied and taking a group photo to mark the start of the day ahead.  

Walk 

Then it’s time to set off into the mountains!  

You’ll be supported every step of the way by our mountain leaders who are there to navigate the terrain and keep you safe. 

Both routes will begin from the Royal Victoria Hotel in Llanberis, which gives us the opportunity to avoid the usual touristy paths.  

The Multi-Peak Trek route heads away from the town of Llanberis before ascending into the mountains that surround the town. As you trek ever higher you will conquer a succession of five different summits: Moel Elio, Foel Gron, Foel Goch and Moel Cynghorion, before the grand finale of Yr Wydda, Snowdon itself! From here the route will descend via the Llanberis path to the finish line to a very well-deserved celebration drink! The total distance is 21.6km with a total ascent of 1608m. Walking time is approximately 10 hours. 

Post walk you are invited to join the team at Prostate Cancer Research and other supporters for an evening of food and celebration of your big achievement.  

The Classic Snowdon Climb route may be slightly shorter but hiking the highest mountain in England & Wales is still a significant and exciting challenge. You will head up the valley, away from Llanberis, before joining up with the Snowdon Ranger path and hiking to the mountain peak. From here you will descend via the beautiful Llanberis path to the finish and a warm welcome back at the hotel with a celebration drink. The total distance is 17.5km with a total ascent of 1118m. Walking time is approximately 6 –7 hours. 

Post walk you are invited to join the team at Prostate Cancer Research and other supporters for an evening of food and celebration of your big achievement.  

Evening Celebration Buffet 

After a long day on the mountain, it’s time to celebrate! Prostate Cancer Research will be throwing a celebration at the Royal Victoria Hotel, to carb-load in style and raise a glass to the achievements of the day! It’ll be a great opportunity to meet other participants, PCR staff and take advantage of the slap-up buffet. We’ll also be marking the day with the presentation of PCR’s annual Matt Rannamets Award for the top fundraiser - in honour of the man himself who founded the Snowdonia for Science event back in 2006 and sadly lost his life to prostate cancer in 2015.  

We would love to see you there and hopefully be awarding the prize to you! More info and buffet celebration tickets to be released closer to the time.
