Caernarfon to Llanberis Hilly Run Details
This is my favourite run, with just enough trail to make it interesting and not too much ascent so a mere mortal can complete it.
Location: Caernarfon
Difficulties: None Specified
The Route Due to injury, I’ve not run this route for over a year, but it is my favourite run. The final section climbs up to Bwlch y Groes as does the Eryri Marathon and is torture after only running 6km. I can only imagine how any unprepared runners would feel when they hit that hill after 35km running!
