Following the long tradition of a non-starter starting something - the new thread for this marathon.
But will we be there?
Will people unsuccessful in the ballot have priority on a waiting list for places that become available?
Who knows?
Abingdon marathon last weekend was my last road race for the sake of my knees which seem to have no cushioning left in them. But I will attempt to enter SNOD every year because I don't count it fully as a road race - there are offroad bits ...

Here's to hoping we al get places in the ballot for 2020...
I heard the weather was bad. It was bad in 2018 above 1500' as well - some of the worst conditions I've ever been out in up on Waun Rhyd.
Where’s the list?
Word to the wise: Booking.com says nearly 70% of places in Llanberis are already booked for the marathon weekend 😱
Missed so many faces this year, some of whom were there!
I've got 12 coasters so I should be counted as a loyal customer and get a place in the race...
Mrs T Rex and I are going to be in Llanberis as well for a week in July (Snowdonis Trail ultra) and a week in September (Seriously Brutal duathlon).
So plenty of custom for Pantri in 2020!
Entered in Trail mara, will enter International in March, when entries should open, which should be the following weekend.
I have heard tell on a rumour mill that the ballot might not hold too many fears for SNOD (very) regulars, but don't quote me on that as it has come to me about 7th hand...
have entered the ballot....
No guaranteed entry for me. Fingers crossed. .
Look forward to seeing you on the start line.
How's everyone else done?
celebrated the end of the year with a lap of llyn padarn. Next week brings me to the end of the 3 month couch-to-10k. Felt a massive achievement getting around the lake yesterday (with my longest period of running since last jan 50mins continuous running ) next week will see me reaching (hopefully) 10k, then i guess i need to think about ‘what next’? All in all it's going/gone well. Repeatedly surprising myself by managing each run, and very pleased with how my achillies has held up. Cycling and yoga are most definitely helping as well.
hopefully some of you have had some success as well today..
I’m sure places will become available later.
Happy New Year from snowy, freezing Minesota..
Currently looking at marathon training plans lol...
Also toying with joining a local trail running group who run on the local hills. Somehow this seems to be a good idea to me...
Reading the above it sounds like I need to book accommodation sharpish!
