Route information
Slateman Triathlon
Starting in Llanberis; the heart of Snowdonia’s industrial history the Triathlon combines stunning scenery with epic challenges. Swim in the fresh water of Llyn Padarn, run on a combination of trail and road through the historic slate quarries and cycle over the mountain passes; all in the shadow of Wales’ highest peak, Snowdon. The sprint distance bike course is entirely on fully closed roads making it a perfect introduction to cycling Snowdonia’s famous mountain passes.
Slateman Duathlon
Starting under the Finish Arch you’ll blast up past the Slate museum and through the beautiful Lagoons in Llanberis. Wtih stunning views at Vivians Quarry next comes to bike section.
Cycle alongside Snowdon, climbing up the famous Llanberis mountain pass. Your turning point is the famous Pen y Gwryd Hotel where Hilary and Tenzing trained to take on Mount Everest. There's one final uphill struggle back to the top of Pen y Pass then it's down down down all the way back to Llanberis and transition with views all the way to Anglesey. The section from Nant Peris to Pen y Gwryd and back again is all on closed roads offering a unique opportunity to cycle on the famous pass without traffic passing.
Running on some of the best trails around, you’ll go past Vivian Quarry, and head towards Dinorwic, before taking a short section of road in the direction of Fachwen. You’ll then turn steeply downhill through beautiful forests, with glimpses of Snowdon, along to the finish line where a warm Always Aim High welcome will greet you.
The Savage Triathlon will be over the two days - on day 1 you will complete the Sprint distances and on day 2 you will complete the Standard distances.
