Advertised as a beach and Mountain challenge and set between the mountains & sea near Conwy, the North Wales Half Marathon race started and finished on the beach next to the Mulberry marina and crossed into the Snowdonia National Park along the way. Karl Bunnell said "Miles in soft sand, big ascents up steep hills and a combined elevation for the course equal to more than half the height of Snowdon. It did however have the best views of any race I've done and I'd love to come back and hike around instead of running up these hills. 358 runners completed the challenge including 3 from Wallasey AC.
