Run Wales are starting up s New Full Marathon and Half Marathon on 8th March . Full starts @ 9 Half @ 10AM. described as Fast Course .Any striders Up for this?
I believe it's the same place as the Village Bakery half & North Wales 10miler? Should be good, as Run Wales generally put on the best events at reasonable cost (in my opinion), and don't bombard you with a plastic bag full of flyers!
If you can't do this one, Run Wales other new event is the Chirk half marathon in the summer. From descriptions sounds like a nice scenic route around the castle and countryside.
I think if you do all 8 events in the year, you get a prize or discounted races for the following year (maybe!)
