In short: Well organised race
In full: Well organised, good instructions pack with race number. Might have been a good idea to have some large CAR PARK for runners signs - lots of cars "lost" outside the venue, having already passed the turn for plentiful car-parking - about 400/500 metres from the start.
Weather was ok/mostly cool - if it had been a hot one then a lot of people would have suffered due to small number of drinks stations.Pity its a 4 and a half hour limit,
if its a finishing time problem - let he marathon start 30 mins or an hour before the half ? after all its a "charity" even ?

In short: Well organised, though not sure how it would be if the weather had been really bad, shelter at finish was a small tent - considering the number or runners. All the marshalls deserve a medal.
In full: Would have preferred a momento as this was an Ultra - rather than yet another t/shirt that does not fit.....large...again.

In short: Well organised and traffic free !
In full: Nice to have a virtually traffic free course - and in a town, even though the cycleways and underpasses made this an undulating course,the Autumn colours and thro the park helped relieve the greyness!

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.
