Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

JovialGnome I've decided I prefer tarmac! That was without a doubt the hardest thing I've ever done - couldn't believe how muddy and difficult the terrain was - not too sure how much I was enjoying it until I finished but that said, I will be back next year to better that rubbish time!

Slam Dunc A special thanks goes out to Zoom for setting the pace for me and ensuring Boycie paid up the double sponsorship money which after having to lie down at the end for 5 minutes and having a first aider check me and the dizzy spell aftewards does not seem enough. Especially coming in 2hr 35 when I thought i would be lucky to make 3. At least this time my coach was there at the end unlike another race we could mention. To sum the race up if Zoom had a penny for every swear word espcially on the perilous path up the mountain she could retire, and she did not here some other words that would easily be worth a pound on other parts of the course. The tank survived bring on the next race.

Boycie I was a bit disappointed with the event this year. It was too easy, compared to previous years. The course has had to be shortened by 3/4 of a mile due to safety concerns, which knocked out a final hilly section on the run back into Tywyn and secondly they did not plough the field at the half way point, which meant that the hills on the second half didn't feel nearly as hard. Apparently 200+ runners beat the train this year, which in my opinion takes something away from the challenge. Felt a bit like A level results! It's still a great race, but I now prefer the challenge of Man v. Horse to this. That said I will be back next year and will beat the train am and pm!

rhb Not sure what to expect.... I fell apart badly on only other attempt at this race. Revenge is in mind, but it's too close to IMUK to go too hard. Result, train beaten, great fun had.

jolguk Oh, no, two people have already bet on me....... really, I can't see me running this any faster than I did the Northumberland one recently. I'm on good form etc, but it has hills in it. Therefore I'll be rubbish. Update... I didn't do too badly. I loved the race generally, and went careering down those downhills, but hated the sideways running and fell over at that point. My mate's description of the race (from doing the 10k in the morning) confused me a bit so I didn't take enough advantage of feeling very strong with 5k to go (as I couldn't get any speed up in the muddy and narrow trail bits). I'd do it again just for the views, though. For me, beats the Northumberland Coastal hands down.

Rubberman Looking forward to the ford, ploughed field, narrow slippy path, slippy steps at the waterfall and most importantly the finish line. Hope the rain comes down again this year - bring it on ! *** Very very pleased with my time. Beat the train ! woo hoo. Shorter course and fair conditions all helped ***

Mr Phil far fitter than last year and have pb'd every distance apart from 5 miles since october - should be a good bet, although i haven't done as many long ones as i'd hoped that was a big pb - 19 mins better than last year - great race as usual - think i may have beaten 2nd train
