Skyrunning Masterclass - Snowdonia

A course for sky/mountain runners looking to improve their confidence and efficiency over exposed/scrambling terrain. Skyrunning in the UK and Europe is becoming increasingly technical and being able to move efficiently and over scrambling terrain is vital to feeling confident and strong in these races.

 We will cover all the skills you need to master moving fast and light over technical ground. This is a scrambling masterclass, with ascending and descending workshops, movement on sharp ridges, climbing skills, strength and conditioning for steep ground, as well as discussing kit and nutrition for skyrunning.

You should leave this course with your head and hands feeling more confident in your ability to flow over the ground that normally slows so many of us down!

To attend the course, you need to have a good level of hill fitness, already do some trail/fell running and have some experience scrambling (this could be walking, it doesn’t need to scrambling whilst running!). If you are unsure if you fit the criteria, or to see if this is the right course for you, please get in touch with me by emailing alicecharlottekerr@gmail.com, or give me a ring on 07808 263591.

The course will be run from 9am to 4pm each day, meeting in Siabod Caffi in Capel Curig at 9am on the first day of the course, where we will grab a coffee and have a chat before heading out into the hills for the day, finishing back at the vehicles at around 3/4pm. On the second day of the course, we will arrange to meet at a specific location to begin the day, before finishing the day on the hill at around 2pm, and heading to a Cafe for a brew and cake (or chips!) and a debreif. 

Food and accommodation are not included in the course fee. Get in touch if you would like help or advice with either of these.
