Craft Snowman Triathlon 2024
Awarded the Event of the year (2021) in the Welsh Triathlon Awards, The Craft Snowman is well known as the toughest multi-terrain triathlon in the UK; it is the ultimate challenge and not for the faint-hearted.
The Craft Snowman encompasses all that the adventure playground of North Wales offers and is infamous for a reason - just when you think you’re done there is a different challenge you’re not expecting. An exciting, adrenaline-fuelled and truly epic and unforgettable experience; completing The Snowman is a tick that every triathlete wants.
Are you up for the trio? The Snowman is also the second part of our Adventure Series of triathlons & duathlons.
