Portmeirion is surrounded by 70 acres of exotic woodlands, and magical trails, in and out of each other. In 2020 it will be the 6th 6th Trail to be held in this amazing location. A 6km run, a ‘challenging’ trail run in the “Gwyllt” woods 2020 (March 28th 11am). We as a team have brought it forward by a month due to the number of weddings been held in Portmeirion.
The 2014 race was the first time for this type of event had been hosted in Portmeirion village. The 2020 trail run / race will be the same distance as previous years, 6km which is different to 5k or 10k, (but why not), and will go into other areas of the Portmeirion grounds. We will include a kids race in conjunction with HEBOG Runners. Great comments from people as well, fun runners, and the elite, and many of the latter feeling as they have ran a half marathon not a 6km!!
