The race isn’t for consideration as a fun-run – mountain experience/navigation skills are required. I hope to be able to lead at least one recce of the route before race day in order to boost the confidence of wavering first-timers! Keep an eye on the Gladstone9 FB page, where I will publicise the date(s).
Safety pins will not be provided.
Mandatory kit/safety requirements are listed on the Summarised Safety and Behavioural Requirements for Competitors document
here:  https://www.welshfellrunnersassociation.org.uk/en/policies-and-formsThere will be a presentation with the usual age category prizes, all sourced locally, & for the first M/F local runners.
The bar will be serving drinks all day – inside & outside – and we’d love it to have some custom!!
Please do come again this year to support this tough, scenically superb fell race in my back garden the foothills of the Carneddau!!
