Mae’r ras mynydd 20 milltir hon, sydd â hanes hir, wedi cael ei chynnal ers dros 50 mlynedd – o Abergwyngregyn ar arfordir y gogledd i gopa’r Wyddfa. Yn Rhagfyr 2023, cynigiodd un o’n aelodau – Kate Worthington – gymryd drosodd fel trefnydd y ras yn hytrach na’i gweld yn cael ei throsglwyddo i gwmni masnachol. Bryd hynny, ychydig iawn o glybiau, gwirfoddolwyr neu unigolion oedd â diddordeb mewn ymgymryd â rôl Trefnydd y Ras, pan benderfynodd y trefnwyr blaenorol roi’r gorau i’r ras. Yn ystod Gwanwyn 2024, cytunodd Rhedwyr Eryri i’r ras ddod yn ‘Ras Clwb’ o dan ein baner ein hun.

Dyddiad ras eleni yw dydd Sadwrn 30 Mai, ac mae angen ychydig mwy o marshalls gwirfoddol i sicrhau bod y trefniadau’n rhedeg yn dda ac i ddiogelu. Cynigir lle ras am ddim ar gyfer 2027 fel taliad am eich amser gwerthfawr, ac mae llawer o marshalls blaenorol wedi mwynhau rhedeg y ras dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Mae croeso i chi hefyd ymuno a ni yn Gwesty Padarn, Llanberis am ddiod poeth a sglodion ar ôl eich sifft. Gall y clwb hefyd helpu i dalu costau teithio i aelodau.

Ymunwch â grŵp gwych o wirfoddolwyr a rhedwyr lleol (ac o bell!) sydd eisoes yn barod i helpu a gwneud i’r ras redeg yn llwyddiannus. Dewch i gwrdd â phobl newydd, ehangu eich profiad a magu hyder wrth gynnig eich sgiliau a’ch egni i ras fynyddig glasurol.

Mae’r clwb hefyd yn datblygu llwybrau hyfforddi arbenigol i wirfoddolwyr (aelodau yn unig) eleni. Ee. Cymorth Cyntaf yr Awyr Agored ayyb.

This long-standing, classic 20 mile mountain race has been running for over 50 years - from Abergwyngregyn on the north coast to the summit of Yr Wyddfa. In December 2023, Eryri Harriers club member - Kate Worthington - offered to take over the organisation of this race rather than see the race passed on to a commercial company. At the time, there were few interested club/volunteer parties or individuals willing to take on the role of Race Organiser, when the previous organisers decided to step away from the race. In the Spring of 2024, Eryri Harriers agreed the race could become an Eryri Harriers ‘Club Race’.

The date of this year’s race is Saturday 30 May, and the race requires a few more volunteer Race Marshals to ensure smooth running of logistics and safety of runners. A free Race Place is offered for 2027, in return for precious time and many previous Race Marshals are enjoying running the race over the last couple of years. You are also welcome to return to Padarn Hotel in Llanberis for hot drink/chips after your shift. Eryri Harriers can also help to cover travel costs for members.
