Ultra X 110 Wales takes place in and around southern Snowdonia in western Wales over the two final stages of Ultra X Wales (a five-day event beginning earlier in the week). Snowdonia National Park was established in 1951 as the third national park in Britain and it contains the highest peaks in the United Kingdom outside of Scotland. The course takes participants on two looped courses starting and finishing in the event campsite, following a number of famous trails and stunning ridgelines, bagging several of the highest peaks in South Snowdonia and covering a total distance of 110km (68 miles). Ultra X 50 Wales (50km single-stage race) takes place on the final day (Sunday) of Ultra X Wales.
