<p>North Wales. The 2005 version of that annual madness, Ras yr Wyddfa (The Snowdon Race). The course follows the Llanberis Path from Llanberis to the summit of Yr Wyddfa. Five miles up and five miles down over terrain that is hard on well booted feet and most unforgiving of any fall.
</p><p><br></p><p>Current event record for the men is held by K. Stuart with 1:02:29 done in 1985 and for the women it is held by C. Greenwood with 1:12:48 done in 1993.

1985 was the year in which the record from Llanberis to the summit (3,000 ft difference over five miles) and the halfway stage was achieved by R. Bryson in a time of 39:47 compared with the event record holders half way time of 39:57 done in the same year.
