Latest News From The Conwy Ascent

If you need to shuttle cars to the finish, be aware that a lot of the route is now 20mph so allow extra time. It feels like walking pace through the villages on the B road up the valley so don't get caught out.

If you are leaving your car at the start car park for the day rather than having someone drive it up to the finish after the boats have started could you pay for the parking as you go in. The council are happy for us to base the start there but don't want the car park cluttered up all day.

Please note from the 'Conditions and safety' page that we have set cut off times at Tal y Cafn bridge to avoid getting the safety cover too spread out.

Prize giving: Refreshments and prize giving will be in the central building at Adventure Parc.

Entries: Feel free to enter in advance then pay on the day by cash or card.

Tour: To make the tour easier to manage safely our usual plan is being replaced with a ‘leisurely race', starting just upstream of the floating pontoon 15 minutes before the TC2/SUP race start. This group will have 1hr 35mins to reach Tal y Cafn bridge before the cut off.
