In short: Excellent event .
In full: My first Snowdonia, great event, do not be put off by the tough comments - there are only 2 and a half hills, though the last one goes on a bit, before the plunge downhill ! Hope to return.

In short: Wow!!
In full: The pain never registered (apart from that notorious 'Welsh Wall' at 21 miles) because of the amazing scenery. I could look at it all year and not get board.

In short: My first marathon and i'm glad it was here rather than running around a city somewhere. I didn't think the hills were as bad as people make out. Only problem i'd have is the silly start where late comers have to walk in front of the start!
