Llyn Alwen Trail Race ?

[Danbert Nocurry]

Can any of the forums Yaki Da's confirm that this race is as stunning as it sounds?

Thanks in advance

Danbert, the organiser is Welsh Harrier so he should know a thing or two about it .

Are you there Welsh Harrier?

Why is the organiser charging an extra two pounds for unaffiliated runners?

What organisation do the runners need to be affiliated to in order to avoid paying an extra two pounds?

[(notsomuchofa)Fellrunner]

It's organised by Denbigh Harriers who are affiliated to Welsh Athletics. I'm guessing that WA have permitted the race so you should be a member of a club connected to WA or the English/English Regional equivalent to avoid the extra 2 quid charge.

There is no requirement for any additional unattached entry fee on an entrant in an open fell race who is not a member of an affiliated club in the UKA Rules for Competition.

Can anyone tell me where the start/registration area is for this race?
the directional instructions say that i should(coming from the betws y coed end) take the A543 and then the B4501 that seems to take me past Llyn Alwen.
is the start on the Llyn Bran end of the B4501 or on the mynydd poeth end?
Cheers

Have you looked at the above link? It shows a map with the approximate area marked, it looks like its closer to the southern end from that. I was planning on driving around via Betws rather than around the coast, is that what you were planning?

Anyway the 3000ers people have cancelled due to the weather, so we are probably running now too.

Cheers

definitely through Betws,then turn off at Cerigydridion towards llyn Brenig (not the way thats suggested on the entry form),
although could change my mind and not do it at all because ive just noticed that its on the sunday and not saturday. ...dont like sunday morning races

Enjoyed that - thanks Welsh Harrier and others for their organising. Wish i hadn't have worn studs though, that was a trail shoe race and no mistake. Ahh well, still got round uninjured and enjoyed the surreal post race yoghurt!
