The Snowdon 50

Question 1

CAN I BRING MY DOG

Accepted Answer

If your dog is well behaved, kept on a lead at all times and is cleared up after; then they are welcome to join us. Livestock are kept in fields and mountains in Eryri (Snowdonia) and the surrounding areas, as well as many hidden holes and cliffs which can be extremely dangerous to a dog focused on chasing other animals (rabbits, birds, sheep, other dogs etc). Please keep your dog on a lead for this reason, especially on busy Yr Wyddfa paths. Please also bring dog poo bags to clean up after your dog (and take them off the hill with you securely – and not left by the side of a path). Some of our larger events use local venues before and after the walk, these aren't always dog friendly so check with the event organiser if you're booking onto one of these events.

Question 2

CAN I DO THIS WHILST I'M ON MY PERIOD?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, the main thing you to consider is how your period affects you. Only you know your symptoms and what affect exercising while on your period will have. Things like lower motivation and dehydration are things to look out for but can easily be managed. Take some time to monitor your period ahead of your event and learn how you can best manage your symptoms.

In the run up to your event you might want to explore comfortable sanitary items, and how to change or manage them while out on the hill with no toilet access. If you’re still unsure, then check out www.optimalperiod.com for reliable and accurate information about exercising whilst on your period.

Question 3

CAN I DO THIS PREGNANT?

Accepted Answer

There are many benefits to exercising while pregnant, however, the appropriate intensity of exercising while pregnant will vary person to person and long moutain days are very physically challenging. We highly recommend you discuss this with your GP or medical professional and do your own research before you commit to an event with us. Please ensure you let us know that you’re pregnant in your registration form as well as on the day so we can support you in the best way possible.
