Speed around the stunning Lake Vyrnwy in this awesome and incredibly popular Half Marathon. An event aimed at runners of all levels, the route is flat as it loops around the lake, making it the perfect Half for PB chasers and first-timers alike. Come for the buzzing race day atmosphere.
Perfect for all runners as well as those seeking a fast time. An extremely fast one-lap race that offers spectacular views all the way around. Once you complete the run, you will receive your unique finishers medal, water and cereal bar.
Race Start / Finish

Race Experience
We are keen to ensure that everyone enjoys the day regardless of their ability. Our generous race cut-off time will allow everyone to get back to the finish before we open the public roads fully. And at the finish line, we will give out water, medal, and cereal bars.

Athletes with a disability
If you have a disability, please contact Alan Lewis so the event organisers can understand your needs.
There is no wheelchair race, but accompanied wheelchairs, visually impaired and learning disabled athletes are welcome. Choose your start position with care. To avoid jostling, it is usually safer to line up at the back of the race – the event will have chip timing, so your race time won’t be affected. Let the organiser know, and they will endeavour to make your race run smoothly.
If an athlete needs a carer or guides to accompany them during the race, the carer is entitled to a free place in the race. To apply for this, or if you have any questions about the suitability of the route, contact the event organiser.
