The Course

The planned route utilises a local walking/ Sustrans cycling route called Lon Las Ogwen.

Lon Las Ogwen is a wonderful route offering views of the Snowdonia Mountains as it climbs south from the coast at Porth Penrhyn. Following the valley of Afon Cegin, the trail climbs on old railway cuttings through lovely broadleaf woodland to Tregarth and a turn around point at Bethesda.

The race will start in Porth Penrhyn, on the edge of the Menai Straits and follows a virtually traffic free out and back course. The out leg rises gently throughout its length, ensuring a fast second half.

During the event competitors will run underneath viaducts, through old railway tunnels and across raging rivers.

The ethos of the race is around inclusion and we really want to encourage runners of all abilities. Without a need for road closures we can facilitate extended cut off times if needed.
