Alwayn was injured descending Yr Elen and was helped to the checkpoint at the sheepfold from where he was rescued. I don't know details. I think he had a thigh injury from a sharp stone or something.

Thinking about doing this but was wondering what the route is I have had a little look back on threads about it but haven't yet found one with the full route yet, being new to this business of forums(though have studied and enjoyed the forums for several years). Any help advice appreciated. thanks

Agreed, a great low key but tough race. :-)

A great race but it owes me one! I went over on my ankle just after Carnedd Dafydd last year not a bad fall but enough to make me stop after a couple of 100 yards and then make my way back to Bethesda limping by which time I arrived I couldn't weight bear at all and was off running completely for 3 months - not a good summer. Going back to give it a good kicking! Nice warm up for the Welsh 1000s too. Some interesting route choices going up Dafydd keeping to the left on the ascent.

Thanks for the great info-after this race planning to do the half Welsh 1000m (plus, if I have any legs left, to do a bit extra off the end) all as a gradual build up with Borrowdale in mind.
