Hi there,
Looking for recommendations for a nice jog in the llanberis area. Something that would take me about an hour (12 ish km on the flat) don't mind a few hills but would like to spend most of the time 'running'.
Garmin/Strava/etc activity links most appreciated!
Thanks for any help,
RW

It depends how much of a runner you are..

My favourite was always foel Goch..

Llanberis > bwlch maesgwm > foel goch then straight down the fence line back towards llanberis, dropping back right into maesgwm further down by the nose..

Another trail loop is just out and back from pyp along the miners

or go up the pig and drop down to the miners.. then back..

In reply to 4291:

Tis pretty hilly other than around the lake. One I like doing is from Victoria Hotel head towards Nant peris to the end of Lyn Peris, cut up through the Slate quarry to Bus stop and then back down into town via Padarn Park. It's about 5 or 6 miles and the uphill section is joggable.

have you got any other routes on strava around snowdonia Iain?

In reply to ow arm:

Fell running or trail?

In reply to IainRUK:

trail please

In reply to ow arm:

Ok will look later, have a few, there's more proper fell but a few nice trail loops I should have on strava.. Just off to the gym.. so probably add them tonight.

In reply to IainRUK:
well trail/fell its all the same to me!

Have you done ras y moelwyn, or done the route? Ive not entered the race but have followed the route in my own time, tis a good run, a bit harsh in places but some great scenery along the way

In reply to ow arm:

Here's some, I actually don't have that many because I only just started using it as I moved to Germany

For me the best runs are Moel Eilio.. any link on that ridge..

Moelwyns is great, done the race a few times, cracking route..

Carneddau was a great race, now dead I think.. but its essentially the CD > Yr elen horseshoe which has some fantastic running..

the other good area and few visit is north of capel, there's some lovely trails in that area around gerionydd/capel and gwydr forest if the weather is bad..

However I think my favourite run was from rhydd ddu, take the bridleway/path across to beddgelert forest and climb to the col between the he bog satellites and nantlle ridge, run up that shoulder, faint path, then come back along to Y Garn on the nantlle ridge and descend.. its only 5 miles or so, but a cracking route.

In reply to IainRUK:

I did the foel lus race as a junior many years back, ive been meaning to revisit that, thanks for the reminder.

I think the betws y coed one is next on my list.
