The Push – Yr Wyddfa 2025

On 28th June, nine determined teams conquered Yr Wyddfa, coming together to raise over £77,000 for Back Up. The event brought together a fantastic group of participants, all motivated by the challenge. Their efforts and teamwork made this year’s climb a huge success, helping to support Back Up’s vital work.

The Push is Back Up’s toughest, most exhilarating fundraising challenge! Whether you use a wheelchair or can walk, this is the challenge for you!

We’re seeking teams who are keen to take on Yr Wyddfa mountain challenge and raise funds for our life-changing services.

• Work together to reach the top of Yr Wyddfa (formerly known as Snowdon) and back down again.
• You’ll cover approximately eight miles of steep, mixed surfaced terrain.
• There are around 10 to 16 people per team, including one member who uses a wheelchair.
• The minimum fundraising target is £4,000 per team.
• The Push is suitable for all levels of ability.

Who can take part in The Push?

Just like all our challenge events, The Push is open to everyone – whether you have a spinal cord injury or not. We encourage applications from anyone who wants to help raise funds for our life-changing services.

If you are not a wheelchair user and would prefer to tackle the challenge in a different way, please contact our events team.  We can chat about your needs and help you to complete the challenge.

“I used to like walking mountains before my injury. After my accident I didn’t think I’d be able to climb a mountain with my children. The Push gave me a chance to get my family involved, making memories and climbing the tallest mountain in Wales with their dad! Getting up that mountain with a supportive team and my family was a great feeling.”
