← Snowdonia Trail Marathon

The guys at always aim high know how to stage a race, starting off on the Llanberis playing fields, this half winds itself up the valley from the village, the views are amazing the terrain is good, solid paths, once at the top it zig zags up towards the summit, great sight of hundreds of coloured runners against the hillside.

the ranger path joins the top of the Pyg Track on the Llanberis path, steeped in cloud you turn left after the railway track and race towards the bottom, the path here is a variety of footings, steady as you go, unlike me I stumbled to say the least!! 

Dented elbows knees and pride once at the bottom you follow the route through the forest and up into the slate quarry steep in sections, energy sapping climbing sees you at the top, a decent through the woods and the booming welsh PA announced that the finish in near!

passes the former slate miners hospital the road section leads back to the playing fields, plenty of activities to keep you hanging around to cheer on your fellow runners

 

grest event team, great environments thought routes to put you through your paces!!

 

well done AAH
