1.0 NATIONAL ATHLETICS FEDERATION
Welcome to Wales for the 4th edition
of the IAU Trail World
Championships. We are proud to be hosting this
prestigious event and look forward to welcoming athletes from across
the globe to the County of Conwy in North Wales. The area has
previously held major sporting events such as the Commonwealth
Mountain & Ultra Distance Championships in 2011 and is home to many outdoor activity
attractions.
The event HQ is the seaside Victorian town of Llandudno, with the Championships held 15 miles (25km) south on the outskirts of the
town of Llanrwst, which is situated in the Conwy Valley, alongside the River Conwy.
The event will be situated just over the bridge from the town centre- the bridge is
a 17th century stone bridge – and there
lies Tu Hwnt i'r Bont, formerly a courthouse in the 15th century. Close by
is Gwydir Castle – a privately owned Grade I listed building with around 10
acres of gardens and is a good example of a Tudor courtyard house. Towering above,
on the edge of the Snowdonai Natioanl Park, is the Gwydyr Forest where the
racing will take place on a scenic challenging lap.
