Overall Ultra-Trail Snowdonia saw a total of 2,709 starters, 1,928 finishers for the for events combined. Below are the numbers broken down by distance and gender:

  • 100M Starters: 260 – DNF: 161 – Finishers: 99. Women: 8 (8%) Men: 91 (92%)
  • 100K Starters: 715 – DNF: 284 – Finishers: 431. Women: 53 (12%) Men: 378 (88%)

  • 25K Starters: 676 – DNF: 69 – Finishers: 607. Women: 210 (35%) Men: 397 (65%)

In total the event saw 1,928 finishers. 444 (39%) women and 1,485 (77%) men reached the finish line and earned themselves stones and an UTMB index (or directly punched their ticket to the Finals in Chamonix for 2025).

Women participation levels for the 4 races are pretty low compared to other UTMB I’ve been tracking. This could have something to do with the notoriously hard course – the DNF rate, especially for the 100M and 100K is pretty brutal.

Next up on the UTMB World Series Calendar is another doubleheader with the amazing Trail Alsace Grand Est by UTMB in the Alsace region of France on May 17 – 20 and Ultra-Trail Australia by UTMB in Katoomba, New South Wales, Australia on May 16 – 19.
