Ultra-Trail Snowdonia for a beginner? How hard can it be?!

In May 2025 I took part in the 25km event at Ultra-Trail Snowdonia, organised by UTMB. I had run a few trail/fell running events before, but I'd never run in a mountain race. How hard could it be, right? RIGHT?! Join me as I experience these mountains in a much more demanding way... 00:00 - 00:32 00:33 - 03:19 Van/Event prep 03:20 - 03:41 Registration 03:42 - 05:25 The morning of the event 05:26 - 07:34 Lets go run! 07:35 - 07:57 I fell over! 07:58 -08:38 Checkpoint 08:39 - 09:34 Up the second summit 09:35 - 10:15 All downhill from here! 10:16 - 10:33 Nearly at the finish 10:34 - 11:00 Finish! 11:01 - 11:40 Outro
