Ras y Moelwyn

[RHYS B]

Yes, my Garmin only made it 8.75miles. Felt further, though. Do you measure a fell race like a road race, though? In which case it's the distance on the ground (if you used a wheel to measure) whereas a GPS measures point to point (as if it was meaured on the map) so will always give shorter the hillier the route.

my garmin had it at 8.70miles,must have found a shorter route

Any results yet ???

Does anyone know if any entertainments etc are put on at this event for families? I'm trying to 'sell' the idea of a detour via Blaenau Ffestiniog on the way home from a family holiday in Anglesey.

Hey, here's the website for this race http://www.anturstiniog.com/ you can register online and pay on the day. Also has info on entertainment. Laters

[PJL]

Thanks lowden, I'd already seen that website. I know it says there is entertainment, but do you know what that's likely to consist of? Not having been to something like this before, I need a bit more info to determine whether it's likely to keep my 8- & 5-yr olds (and Mrs PJL) happy for the day. Cheers

Some of the runners are quite entertaining!

PJL I have no idea what the entertainment will be although at a guess id go for a welsh band if some kind. I've registered, really looking forward to this race as Blaenau is where my family originates from. It's worth a bash I'm taking my kid and my partner will be in tow also

There was definately a Bouncy castle/slide thingy and a climbing wall last year, and a band as I recall. It all depends on the weather in Blaenau! last year was hot and sunny which is very rare in them parts!!

[lowden]

Anyone doing this?? I'm back visiting my folks and this race fits in nicely!

Looks like it's gonna be a nice day for the Moelwyn...
