Snowdon Race

[Swoop]

Also heard that this year due to fact that train only goes to Clogwyn station that we can run from Bwlch Glas (Miners / Llanberis / Ranger meeting point) to summit on railway line.

Should suit the track runners!

I've also heard that running on the track ,just before the summit, is permited this year .its definetly going to save a bit of time.
i think the rules do say that you do have to follow the Llanberis path to the summit and back.
any way if your going to take short cuts your only cheeting yourself in the long run

Rocksteady, my mum used to say things like that but then I stopped believing it when West Ham illegally played Tevez and suffered a small fine rather than a points deduction proving that CHEATS DO PROSPER!!

I heard that last night, I was talking to one of the local race organisers and they reckoned that the train track would be used. Would be a bit faster, wonder what they'll do about the records, wasn't the existing record set when running up the train track anyway though?

Anybody after an entry for this?
I pre-entered but am very unlikely to be going now.
Wouldn't normally be bothered but am too tight to lose £12 without a fight.
Cheers.

So who's doing this then? Anyone staying in the Royal Victoria Friday night?

I'm doing it but I'm camping on friday night somewhere round tryfan then its only a short drive down to llanberis from there. Hopefully the descent won't kill me as much as the descent off coniston did on sunday

I have been looking forward to the Snowdon run but aggravated an old injury last weekend and have not run for a few days so the rest should have done me good. Will try a run later to see how it feels. If not running will be taking photos on the mountain so plenty of smiles please. Did the race last year and it was a great day. Will be travelling down on Saturday morning for this years event.
