Other questions
Running the second loop in reverse means half marathon and full marathon runners meet each other in opposite directions, creating a wonderfully supportive community atmosphere on the trail.
Every finisher receives a finishers medal, and the wonderful Pobl Y Forest (people of the forest) provide a warm home-made soup at the end, included in your fee. The soup proved so popular last year that entrants suggested the organisers go into soup making.
The organisers describe their cut offs as generous - a fast walker could complete the course within them. If you can occasionally run the flat sections and gentle downhills you will easily make the cut offs. Please respect the marshals' decision if you are cut.
Yes. The route is fully signed and friendly marshals are positioned at regular intervals to provide support.
