On Running Team up with Snowdonia Trail Marathon

One of our favourite events, the Snowdonia Trail Marathon, has just announced that they have a new title sponsor for 2019 – On Running.

Now known as the On Snowdonia Trail Marathon, the event also boasts a 10k, half and ultra! It’s an incredibly beautiful setting for a race and the marathon takes in 1,685m of ascent and circumnavigates Snowdon. It’s also going to be the GB trial race for the World Ultra Trail Running Championships in 2019.

Tim Lloyd, Director at Always Aim High Events, said: “We are incredibly proud to further our partnership and announce ON Running as the headline sponsor for the 2019 Snowdonia Trail Marathon. We couldn’t ask for a more fitting tie-up with this event”
