Snowdon Home International
Sat 28 June 2008 - Ian Taylor
We would like to send a team of four men and three ladies and need to submit names to the Snowdon race organisers within the next couple of weeks.
If you are interested in being considered please let a member of the selection committee know as soon as possible. We already have interest expressed from some athletes. The selection Committee will be meeting after the Sl Donard race on Friday, 4 July.
We have used this event for a development team in the past. Hence you do not have to be ranked number one in NI to be considered!
The Snowdon race is one of the "classic" UK races, more like a European race than most, with 5 miles uphill, climbing 3300 feet and then descending back down again, with all the route on road, track and broad path. The current mens record was set by Kenny Stuart way back in 1985 at 1:02:29 when he had a fantastic race with our own local Robbie Bryson. Robbie just beat him to the top and still holds the record for the fastest ascent of 39:47. The ladies record is 1:12:48 set by Carol Greenwood in 1995.
The race organisers contribute to accommodation costs and NIMRA provides some support for travel.
