Eryri Mountain Skills Weekend

Eryri Mountain Skills Weekend

Train, develop, and run with confidence in the mountains of Eryri on this fully coached, immersive mountain running weekend. Designed for runners who want to develop their mountain skills, efficiency, and confidence on technical terrain under experienced coaching - all while enjoying relaxing accommodation and time to recover properly in a beautiful mountain setting.

Hosted by Anna from Run Eryri, this weekend blends structured coaching with unforgettable running in one of the UK’s most inspiring mountain environments.

This weekend is ideal for:

Trail and ultra runners moving into more mountainous terrain

Runners preparing for mountain races or adventure challenges

Athletes who want specific coaching on technical terrain, not just guided runs

Those who value learning, recovery, and community alongside quality miles

You should be comfortable running continuously for 90 minutes on trails and ready for a full mountain day on Sunday.

Weekend Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrival & Easy Trail Run

Arrive in Eryri by 2pm to meet the team and fellow runners before check-in.

Start your mountain running weekend with a relaxed, social trail run (approx. 90 minutes). This run is about loosening the legs, assessing terrain, and setting the tone for the weekend.

In the evening enjoy a group dinner at a local restaurant — refuel, relax, and get to know your fellow runners.

Day 2 – Coaching, Hills & Recovery

Start the day with a decent breakfast at the hotel.

Then, fueled up, we will head into the mountains for a structured hill session, focusing on:

  • Efficient climbing and descending

  • Pacing and effort control

  • Technical footwork

  • Using terrain to your advantage

Later in the afternoon there will be a yoga session led by local instructor specifically targeted for runners.

Some time to relax followed by dinner.

  • Sustained climbs

  • Technical trails
