North Wales. The Llanberis Path, one of the recognised and most popular routes to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). Five miles uphill on a path, that is rocky, uneven and unforgiving to anyone who slips or falls. Those running here at the tail end of 500 athletes taking part in the Annual International Snowdon Race and in the early stage of the race.. They are working hard but unlikely to beat or match the record time of 1hour 2 minutes 29 seconds men’s' record or the 1 hour 12 minutes 48 second women’s' record for the 10 miles (up and down) course that has 3,000 ft ft. of elevation.
