Top 10 Finish at UTS 80K for Kelly 🔥

Huge congratulations to Kelly on an incredible performance at UTS – Ultra Trail Snowdonia 80K 👏🔥

80km.
10,958ft of climbing.
Night race starting at 8pm.
Summiting Snowdon in the dark.

Kelly finished:

6th Female
2nd in Age Category (20–34)
67th Overall out of 341
Top 10 Female Overall

An unbelievable result at her first ever UTS event, part of the UTMB World Series.

Fuel on the night was mainly:
⚡ BareFuel Strawberry sachets
⚡ PF&H gels & chews
⚡ A couple of NAK biscuits from aid stations
⚡ The pink Highland Fuel cap making sure the Welsh rain stayed out 💗

One of the biggest lessons learned from the race was around night racing nutrition. Kelly mentioned the body responds very differently overnight and, despite taking in plenty of gels, chews and drink mix, she feels more “real food” would have helped as the race went deeper into the night.

Another takeaway was pacing and planning. The early pace felt fast before the course became far more technical around the Snowdon summit sections, plus more night training will be key heading into future goals like Lakeland 100.

Massive effort. Massive performance.
What a way to tackle your first UTS.
