The finish line framing Wales' most famous peak Snowdon awaits To finish, you must turn right and run through the forest, then back along the fire road towards the lake. Sprint athletes don't need to reach the summit but it's still a tough 2.3km climb up beautiful rocky paths before you reach the turning point and run back down again.
