Conwy Half Marathon 2018 – And Other Activities

Conwy Half Marathon 2018 – And Other Activities

The Run Wales Conwy Half Marathon holds a special place in our running hearts. The 2013 version was the first half marathon we ever ran. A couple of years later, we ran our half marathon PB here when completing the 2015 version. Unfortunately, since then we have struggled with injuries and fitness. Last year, for example, although we had entered, following injury we weren’t ready and ended up volunteering instead (which was great in its own way!) This was the 10th anniversary of the event,…

Bodnant Garden in Winter

Bodnant Garden in Winter

Sarah and I took the opportunity of a free day to visit Bodnant Garden. Originally we had been due to run in the Southport Mad Dog 10k but we had both withdrawn from this due to recent illnesses.

Conwy Half-Marathon Recce

Conwy Half-Marathon Recce

Our blog posts are mainly about our cycling adventures, our day trips and our tours. Occasionally we write posts about walks we have been on, and every so often we have included a post about somewhere we have visited. Strangely however we have never written anything previously about another interest of ours, that of running. This Conwy Half-Marathon Recce post finally corrects that. On Sunday 24th November we are participating in the Conwy Half-Marathon organised by Run Wales. It will…
