Snowdonia Trail Marathon 2017 | Mountain Marathon

For July's #run2017 challenge I would cross the border into Wales to run the Snowdonia Trail Marathon.
Still suffering from the back injury I sustained in March, I hadn't been able to train as as such was short of fitness. I soon found out that it was a race that would punish me from the start and right up until the finish line.
Without question the toughest marathon I've ever done and one of the toughest races I've ever done.
As described on their website...
"The SCOTT Snowdonia Trail Marathon is a challenge in every sense of the word. Ascending 1,685 metres over 26 miles of iconic and spectacular trails, this epic race will circumnavigate and eventually climb Wales' highest peak - Snowdon. The incredible route explores the trails, gorgeous panoramic views and tough climbs that make Snowdonia National Park such a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. Visiting Rhyd Ddu, Beddgelert, Nant Gwynant, Pen y Pass and Snowdon, there surely can't be a more striking trail marathon route in the UK!"

There are still places for 2019, I am thinking about this however that queuing up to gates at the beginning is really off putting.

If you're stumbling across this video for the first time, I lost access to this account so have had to recreate my UA-cam channel. Please follow me over there for my latest videos :)
