Snowdon at sunrise

 Join us for a breathtaking experience at Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) as we watch the sun rise from the summit of Snowdon!

You will scale the iconic Welsh mountain from stars to sunrise, while raising funds for Manchester United Foundation. The Foundation is the associated charity of Manchester United and in the 2023/24 season positively impacted the lives of more than 42,000 young people.

Our work – established as a lasting legacy to the Busby Babes – includes community outreach and educational programmes, using the power of football to encourage young people to build a better life for themselves.

You can play your part in supporting this continued charitable work in the heart of Manchester and in other areas of outreach across the UK by taking on this unforgettable adventure in the heart of Snowdonia. Lace up your hiking boots and get ready for an early-morning experience to remember!
