In short: Wet, Muddy and windy and did I say muddy :-), fantastic race, great cameraderie
In full: Weather last year was just as bad but much colder. Rained, rained and rained, but I'm sure there was less pooling water on the course this year.

Ran the 10k, then got on the train to watch the main race. Fantastic atmosphere following the race, maybe one year I'll sum up the courage to do the main race.

In short: Great race, wet, muddy and hilly.
In full: Imposible to communicate with the organisers, feedback and email on their website doesn't work. Still no results on the website.

In short: Outstanding run, has everything, slippytastic in road shoes!
In full: Everthing with the run was outstanding, water/iso stations plenty.
Cheering fans, hardy marshalls(thank you all!), smug farmer in tractor in ploughed field . Beat train by 9mins! Ran in road shoes, bad move in the wet, trails/fells next time, only 3miles on road in total.
Great food/cheap beer in tent later :)
Some signage for car parks would help, maybe start pens, minor points on a great race.
Well done Tywyn, diolch yn fawr!

In short: worth getting a speeding ticket for !!!!!!!!
In full: A fantastic race just as muddy as 2006, great marshalls and organisation. Thought I had won a prize when I recieved a letter from North wales but oh no caught doing 35 in 30 zone around arthog, makes it my most expensive race so far.
