Coed y Brenin Trail Runs – Half Marathon Waymarked Trail

Coed y Brenin  in Snowdonia is best known for its excellent mountain biking facilities, but has hosted the popular Trail Marathon Wales for the last few years. With this trail, you can follow the half-marathon route from the Visitor Centre across the Mawddach, Afon Wen and a sadistic and punishing climb to end! All that along a mix of forestry tracks, paths and a few minor roads.

Just what you need from a trail run.

This mid-length 14km trail run from the Visitor Centre in Snowdonia has plenty of ascent and interest as it climbs and descends between valleys, waterfalls and mine workings.  Follow the GR waymarks as noted at the link below.
