Congratulations to all of you!
A huge thank you to all runners for taking up the challenge of running the 35 miles. Each runner can be proud of their achievement. It's an experience with plenty of points to take away and learn from.
Beauty aside, the extreme distance and variable terrain has sealed the race's reputation as one of the most challenging ultra marathons in the British Isles.
Fantastic to see:
 |
Heather Heppenstall take the overall win and first lady. |
 |
Two local ladies from Cybi Striders Mon Miles made it home in exactly the same time to finish equal second lady! |
 |
The RoF sponsored runner Mohammad Karim Yaqoot, recently relocated from Afghanistan, take on unfamiliar coastal trail and take fourth place overall. |

What do people say about us?
"I wanted to take time to congratulate you guys on the most amazing event I have experienced since leaving the forces. The sheer rawness, fantastic scenery and hardcore route is what makes this an exceptional experience. Anglesey is absolutely breathtaking, I will certainly be taking time out for training runs along the coast line again."
