Ras Yr Wyddfa

Ras rhedeg rhyngwladol caled i fyny a lawr Yr Wyddfa.

Mae gwylio Ras Yr Wyddfa yn brofiad arbennig, a gellir ei cyfuno a mynd am dro ar y mynydd i wneud diwrnod allan gwych. Mae’n anodd coelio bod y rhedwyr gorau yn neud hi fyny ac i lawr mewn jyst dros awr! Mae’r amodau’n newid o flwyddyn i flwyddyn, weithiau’n heulog a braf, a weithiau’n stido bwrw efo gwynt cryf.

Un o’r llefydd gorau i wylio’r ras yw Allt Moses, ble ceir gweld wynebau poen y rhedwyr ar y ffordd i fyny, a’r ‘rhedeg’ gwallgo, bron iawn allan o reolaeth, ar y ffordd nôl lawr.

Mae’r ras rhyngwladol hon yn uchel ei barch ymysg rhedwyr o bedwar ban byd, ond mae na blas Cymreig iawn arni, gan ei fod hi wedi cael ei trefnu gan y gymuned lleol ers y dechrau yn 1976.

Tough international running race up and down Yr Wyddfa.

Watching Ras Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon Race) is a special experience, and can be combined with a mountain walk for a great day out. It’s difficult to believe that the best runners make it up and down in just over an hour! The conditions change year on year, sometimes beautifully sunny, and sometimes ‘beating’ it down and stormy.

One of the best viewing spots is Allt Moses, where you can see the runners’ pain faces on their way up, and the crazy almost out of control ‘running’ on the way back down.

The event is considered one of the biggest in the world of mountain running, drawing runners from all over Europe, but has a distinct Cymraeg flavour thanks to being run by the local community and volunteers since its inception in 1976.
