The Snowdonia Marathon is a much-loved race, having been voted best marathon in the UK by Runners World Magazine in 2007. Oddly it is also widely regarded to be one of the most difficult marathons.

The race takes place in some of north Wales's most spectacular scenery while encircling Snowdon. Runners are advised to consider the cold they may experience during the race and carry body cover with them.

The race is challenging from the very start, at Nant Peris. Runners start by heading up hill from 300ft following the route along the A4086 and climbing steadily to 1,100ft at Pen y Pass at the top of the Llanberis Pass.

Runners then have a spell of respite. The routes takes them along the A498 to Beddgelert (200ft) from where they continue along the A4085 to Waunfawr. It is then a rapid climb up to Bwlch y Groesa at about 1,200ft before heading downhill to the finish line in Llanberis.
