Some call it a game of two halves, others a thrilling adventure!
This beautiful route begins at Adventure Parc Snowdonia & heads left out of the entrance before joining a lush forest trail before reaching a steep track. This track will test you & you’ll have to dig deep, slowing down when necessary but once you reach the top the epic trail running continues with expansive views of Snowdonia National Park.
You’ll reach your only Aid Station to re-fuel, skirting the Medieval Township remains & taking on a gradual climb reaching your highest halfway point at 387m. The second half of the race is full of rolling downhill trails, watch your footing & soak up the wild views of Snowdonia National Park. You’ll pass Coedty Reservoir on your left, before crossing a country road before descending into gorgeous forestry along Afon Porth-llwyd, with breathtaking waterfall & rock pools alongside you.
Truly at one with nature, prepare yourself for an exciting race, wiggling through the forest before reaching tracks leading back down to the road for a fast finish for runners who have energy in the tank! This is a 10K you won’t forget & we recommend practicing your uphill & downhill trail running technique to fully appreciate the experience!
