Route

The Anglesey Trail Half Marathon is set in the beautiful surroundings of Newborough Forest, Anglesey. The course takes you through the trees onto the stunning Llanddwyn Island and onwards to beautiful winding woodland trails, which once hosted the Commonwealth Mountain and Ultra Distance Running Championships. With sweeping coastal views of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Menai Strait, every mile offers breathtaking scenery and a true taste of wild Wales. Plenty of single-track forest trails, quiet forest views and sandy running trails ensure that there is something for everyone in this epic race. The course loops around to bring runners back to where they started, and a hero's welcome from the spectators on the finish line.
