Snowdon 500 – A challenge for Prostate Cancer

16 May 2009

Snowdon 500 - The 2008 event   

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the 2008 Snowdon 500 Challenge. Sponsorship funds raised for the prostate Cancer Research Centre exceeded a staggering total of £160,000 - a magnificent achievement that will make an enormous contribution to the continuing crusade to improve the prospects of men with prostate cancer and take us that bit closer in the quest to find a cure.

450 walkers from all parts of the UK converged on the village of Llanberis in North Wales to take part in the first Snowdon 500 Challenge. The weather was fairly kind although somewhat misty and chilly at the summit but everyone managed to complete the challenge successfully and arrive back down tired but safe. A few completed the course in a little over 3 hours ( and swear they didn't catch the train down)  but everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we as organisers are proud of everyone of them.
