Snowdonia Slateman Triathlon 

Sunday 20th May 2012

Following the incredible success of the first ever Snowdonia Slateman in 2011, the event is back by popular demand in 2012 and will be even bigger and better. Two race options will be the Full Slateman (1000m/51km/11km) or Slateman Sprint (400m/20km/6km).  Team relay categories are also available for both distances.

The race venue will be the stunning village of Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon.  Llanberis is now firmly recognised as the unofficial adventure capital of Wales, the surrounding scenery and challenge from the triathlon routes are unparalleled. This will be the first in the 2012 series which will also include the Anglesey Sandman Tri and Snowman Winter Tri visit our Always Aim High Events home page for more details.

The two courses are as follows:

Full Slateman (£49.99 individual and £75.99 team relay, plus a small payment card fee which is out of our control)
