Truly fantastic race! I will definitely be back - the start line is fantastic, the views throughout are spectacular and a massive thanks must go to the locals who came out in force ringing their cowbells to support every runner.
This was a lovely race. Well organised with good pre event info. Amanda C
This was my first half marathon. Runners of all types. The hilly bits are not too bad actually, was a bit scared but by the time I got there, the spirit of the experienced runners lifts you through. Tuheen H
Brilliant, gorgeous and unique race with awesome start location and so much support along the way. Ali L
This was without doubt the most picturesque 10k I've done to date. Running down underneath the bridge was amazing. Clive P
It's my 6th visit to the Anglesey Half Marathon. And it still remains my favourite road race. Si F
This was my first road race. It was a fantastic event and one that I will never forget Gemma D
I thoroughly enjoyed the Anglesey Half Marathon. The scenic, undulating course started promptly, no messing, straight into the race. The support, be it marshals, supporters and participants were all great sports! San B
