Results for the Trailffest half marathon, 20-Sep-2014
Jackie and Mitch Timms completed this unique off-road event in Wales. The description and feedback from Mitch was very positive:
Cracking half, all off-road. A steam train from Ffestiniog railway station to the start, then a ‘shark’s teeth’ course back to the station. Definitely do again in 2015.
