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?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

There has been at least one Snowdonia Marathon which I have done when most common UK weather conditions have all been experienced during the race alone, apart from snow (hail, yes!) - perhaps we'll get a bit of that this year? I know the race was cancelled one year - I think that could have been because of snow

Expect a bit of everything then!, hopefully the roads for travel will all be fine, staying just outside Bangor.

Would rather Snow than rain, but driving sleethail isn't much fun :-), had plenty of that whilst doing the Grindleford Gallop earlier this year.

So mild last year as well, makes clothing choice much simpler.

OK, I'm just off to sunny, cold, windy, snowy, and rainy Snowdonia. My race starts at 1415 on Friday. In some trepidation about it but you don't know what you can achieve until you attempt it. David Fenland Runner will explain.

Run tall, everybody.

Good luck with those massive endeavours T Rex!

(Funny, "run tall" is the shout of George Bunner, former AAA person and old stalwart of my club. Not heard him shout that for a long time since he stepped away from coaching).

Go on then DFR, spill the beans about the mysterious "quad". Presume some runners are setting out to run the course 4 x with the final effort being to start the race with the rest of us.

Is it a challenge in aid of a good cause or just a challenge for the sake of it (both are valid reasons!).

Spot on, larkim, although it seems one person is going for 6 SNODs in 36 hours :-o

So there's a variety of weather forecasts... I'm reserving the BBC version if I get any choice in the matter ;-)

(Broadly the more detailed ones seem to be quite similar)

Don’t think it matters which one you trust. It looks like it’ll be Baltic 😬
