Snowdonia 7’s Mountain Race

 This was originally a Police Cadet race and has taken place annually since 1974. The event is organised by North Wales Police, further information can be found at:

 http://www.snowdonia7.co.uk or Snowdonia Seven Facebook page

 The Snowdonia Seven is undoubtedly the most enjoyable (and challenging) event in the police sporting calendar.

 Snowdonia Seven’s still embodies the original ethos of developing ‘Fitness, Teamwork and Endurance’.  To complete the challenge, teams (of 4) must travel 22 miles, over 7 peaks (with a total ascent of almost 8000’) – in under 10 hours, carrying safety kit as detailed in the rules.

 The confirmed date for the 2024 event is Saturday 29th June 2024, event places are limited to 50 teams and we are hoping to get a few teams out again this year – if you are interested please contact shannon.davies@gmp.police.uk to get some details from you which will assist in placing you within a team.
