This road will take you past the registration point and down the hill into the valley and then up the hill on the lanes towards Whitesands. 

At the first cross roads the routes split.

The Half Marathon Runners

Will run straight on at the cross roads and follow the signs, that will take them to the hamlet of Treleddyd Fawr and over the hill and down onto the coast path. 

From here you will follow the coast path all the way to Carn Llidi Mountain. (the big rock that overlooks Whitesands bay) Here you will be guided by signs off the coast path and around the mountain and back onto the coast path.

Once back on the coast path you will follow the path all the way to Porthclais where you will follow the signs back into the Cathedral grounds and up the 39 steps to the finish line.

Safety Briefing 

The task you are about the take on involves an element of risk, If you follow the guidelines below, you can negate some of the risks posed. 

The Weather 

At the moment the weather is looking OK. However OK in March is still cold. The Marathon route is a long route, with significant sections where you are isolated from any shelter or immediate support. If you get injured or fatigued in these areas and have to stop or slow down you will get cold very quickly. This can be extremely dangerous. 

To ensure you are kept safe, please ensure that you carry appropriate kit on your person during the event and follow the basic guidelines.

If you are injured and still moving forward, First of all make sure you put on your extra layers before you get cold. Tell a passing runner to inform the next marshal or phone the contact number when in signal of what has happened, how you are feeling and what your name/number is. We will then take the appropriate action. If you are in signal ring us ASAP on the number above or ring us as soon as you get a signal. We’d rather have two calls than none. 

If you are incapacitated and can’t move please ensure that you are out of the elements and wrapped up as warm as you can be. Ring us if you have a signal. If not get a passing runner/member of the public to assist. 

If you come across an incapacitated injured runner. Please take the appropriate action. Ideally one person would stay with them and one would continue on to get a signal or inform a marshal. Please try and make a note of the mile mark and name of the person. 

Other Briefing 

Recommended Kit – Half Marathon

Some sections of the half course are pretty isolated and exposed to the elements and can be some time from assistance. If you are planning on being on the route for more than 2hrs 30mins we would strongly suggest that you carry the following kit. All other half runners we would suggest that you dress appropriately for the weather and have a mobile phone and an additional item to keep warm if needs be.  

Good Luck and enjoy!!
