I will be attempting an FKT of the Welsh Three Peaks on Tuesday 31st May 2016.
The Welsh Three Peaks Challenge takes in the three peaks of Wales: Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in the North, Cadair Idris in mid-Wales, and Pen y Fan in the South.
It includes a total running distance of 17 miles (27.4km) with an ascent of around 1500 metres (4920ft), there is also around 4.5 hours of driving inbetween.
I'm not sure if anyone out there knows of an existing FKT on this, I have spoken to Three Peaks Challenge UK who register records and they have said they don't know of any particularly notable times.. Most will attempt it in either 24 hours or 12 hours although as far as I am aware nobody has yet done it under 12 hours.. I will be aiming for anything under 10 hours..
It would be great to hear from anyone that has done this or already have the FKT on it..
Cheers,
Nathan

I have all gpx files along with pictures if anyone requests them, I've also sent them off to be verified by Three Peaks Challenge UK.
