A Runner from Manchester,England (and blue!) (7/10/2002)
"STILL A GEAT RACE" (about: 2001)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


Well I did do it again. Ten years since last time and the place is still as beautiful. Think I have been lucky with the weather in that on both occasions I have done the race it has been bright and sunny. Will be back hopefully in ten years time. Would then have done it at age 40 - 50 - 60!

"Tough, but worth it" (General Comments)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 2


I have run this marathon twice. The first time in driving wind and rain. It is tiring on the legs, especially the steep climb at 21 miles. They call this the Welsh Wall. If you can get through this you'll want to come back. The scenery is stunning. The National Trust deserves a medal. I'll never forget the charming ladies directing us through a gate on the hills in torrential rain. So terribly British.

"A brilliant weekend in picturesque North Wales" (about: 2000)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


The stunning beauty surrounding Wales' highest mountain, called 'Y Wyddfa' (uh wuth-va) in Welsh makes this a very rewarding run. The start is a gradual climb, before descending through small villages. The people are very friendly and give very enthusiastic support. The mountain looked beautifully snow-capped when I woke on the day of the run. This is a timeless place with an exhilarating marathon. Well worth going over for a holiday and making an experience of it... oh and watch out for the ascent up Waunfawr (wine-vour) - you'll need to be fit for that hill!
 

A Runner from MANCHESTER ENGLAND (9/4/2000)
"AN EXCELLENT DAY OUT" (about: 1991)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


Picturesque run with more difficult bits at first and then about 20 miles. Good organisation and the rac is quite low key but very satisfying. Did it in 1991 but might do it again this year - nine years on.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
