Llyn Y Parc Races 2024

Sunday 24th November 2024

Come and join us for a couple of great trail routes through the forest, at 5K and 10K distances, plus a 2K trail race for juniors over 10 years.  All races start and finish at Nant BH Centre.  There is some parking available at the Centre, with a larger car park in Llanrwst, and a shuttle minibus running to the centre (about 15 mins shuttle).

There will be a compulsory kit requirement for the 5K and 10K route. The weather in November can be unpredictable, and the forest is quite exposed in places, so you will need to make sure you are experienced at running in these potentially more challenging conditions. It could be blowing a gale, horizontal rain, snowing, or even calm and sunny!! Who knows!

All race entries are through Fabian4, https://www.fabian4.co.uk/default.aspx?EventID=3818 with entries opening on Tuesday 24th September, and closing on Thursday 21st November.  There may be limited entries on the day, at a supplementary cost, but no guarantee!   The 5K and 10K races will include RaceTek electronic timing, a finishers memento as well as soup and a roll once you’ve finished.  The 2K junior race is not electronically timed, but still includes a finishers memento and soup and roll.  Registration at the Centre will be open from 9am on race day.  All courses will be fully marked with marshals at key points throughout.
