Every year the Snowdonia Marathon attracts people from all over the world. The first Snowdonia Marathon was held in 1982. The scenic race encircles Mount Snowdon starting at Nant Peris (300 ft) and then climbs to Llanberis Pass (1,100 ft). The highest point of the marathon is at Bwlch y Groes.

Snowdonia is a great place to go mountain biking! Grab your bike and go to the Coed Y Brenin mountain bike center. Ride trails named Red Bull, Karrimor and Marin. There are green lanes, Bridal Tracks, Old roads, fire roads and single tracks waiting to be explored.

The Snowdon Mountain Railway opened to passengers in 1896. Starting at Llanberis Station, and continuing to the Summit Station just 66 ft below the Summit of Mount Snowdon itself, the little train chugs past a spectacular cascading waterfall, through an ancient oak forest, along open country side where you'll see old and abandoned homes and grazing sheep. When the weather is clear the Summit views are breathtaking!
