This event gives participants the opportunity to take in a runnable, beautiful route which follows the North Walian coastline between Prestatyn and Bangor. The 50km (actually 53.8km) takes runners to the beach at West Shore, Llandudno, with 2700ft of ascent along the way. The 100km route involves 8000ft of ascent, and follows the entire Waymarked ‘North Wales Path’ – providing lots of variety in terms of terrain and grade. On both routes you can stretch your legs on large sections of flat coastal running, whilst also tackling the hills inland, without ever getting too high or deviating too far from the coast itself. You’ll visit and pass famous landmarks such as the Great Orme, Conwy Castle, Aber Falls and Penrhyn Castle and there’ll be plenty of feed stations and support along the way.
Whether you’ll race, or participate whilst doing lots of walking, and making the most of the generous cut off’s – you can look forward to a great day out at the North Wales 50km & 100km in 2025.
