Cannot wait! And they have even brought it one day forward so we don't have to wait so long! As a relative newcomer to this marathon, my third time round the mountain, this is the race I look forward to the most. A very special race!
Runners World entry shows £17 attached and £18 not attached. Online entry form via the website shows £20 attached and £21 not attached. A slight typing error perhaps?
Any temptation to do the triple again this year have thankfully been thwarted then! Will be a shame to miss this one having already entered Beachy Head though.
I've just entered. I've been waiting for this to come up for ages. This will be my first Snowdonia Marathon. It will be great to run in my home country, I'm looking forward to it already.
M62 steve i did this in 2005 as my first ever marathon. decided in june of that year to do it and was then half marathon fit. SO no reason why you cant if you put in the right training. you've awhile yet so don't peak too soon and get a good baseline in . you'll need to do hill work too. don't be put off, this is a great race. spectactular. i'm coming back for thirds (in a row). can't wait. prsonally think saturday is great. means can stay over after the race, not hurry back, and have a few welsh ales to ease the aching limbs!
Hiya folks! Interesting touch to change it from a sunday to a saturday, but even if it was on Xmas day this would still be my favourite race of the year! Words cant describe how much I love this race, for those doing it first time lucky you! The my leave for the weekend has been booked off since last october, and the entry will be posted this week. :-)
I liked it on Sunday because you got an hour longer in bed. I have done it four times and think it is a special marathon to do. To answere other questions, yes there are hills, but only three. Still lots of training time J.Mc
I agree with the sentiments about the hill at Waunfaur, it does apear to get longer and steeper each time I do it. Could be a training thing or maybe I'm just getting old

Pug

sob
It's a great course though.
(snot rocket)
on line entry costs more on RW i think
maybe its not up to date
Shame it's changed to Saturday as the Triple is not possible now, but I much prefer a Saturday race and I'm gonna do this one this year :-)
you can
))))))))))
Could I be ready by October?
This soulds like a challenging marathon debut to me.
Well I've just saved the 2007 entry form to the desktop. First step towards entering :-)

Last year was my first time of many, I hope, and will enter again as soon as the form is sorted.
sorry you won't be there Hippo, you will be missing out - maybe next year.
I'm pleased it's moved to Saturday as it's a bit of a drive for me and I can now drive home on the Sunday
Triple fans will now have to do the June triple instead.
