Whether it is winning some of the world’s biggest ultra trail races, traveling to some of the most exotic and mouthwatering running locations of the world, or simply inspiring everyday trail runners to be themselves and just get out there and run and realise their dreams, Anna Frost has inspired a generation. Taking place at the world renowned Coed y Brenin first park between the 29th and 31st of
May, the Anna Frost Big Trail Weekend will be a unique event of seminars, trail runs, film showings, Q &A sessions and the launch of Anna’s new project Fearless Frosty. Thursday the 28th will be a media day followed by an evening run and yoga session starting at 6pm, completely free of charge. This is followed on the 29th and 30th of May ‘A Day with Anna Frost’ hosted by the Kiwi trail star. The weekend is rounded off with the inaugural Anna Frost 10k trail run. The event is a non-competitive trail run, aiming to make trail running accessible to all standards, and most especially women, holding close the aspect of an authentic, panoramic, and challenging trail running, filled with the experience of natural trails, woodlands and rivers in the majestic beauty of of the world-renowned Coed y Brenin Forest Park in the Snowdonia National Park, Wales. You can expect all of the benefits of a trail running event – greater organisation, a marked and marshalled route, with fuel stations, but with the emphasis on taking part, completing the challenge – inspiring both achievement and participation as it’s founding principles as well as your chance to run with Anna. Taking place on Sunday the 31st of May 2015 at 11.00am, the Anna Frost 10k is open to both men and women. The route is on fully marked and marshalled forest roads and way-marked footpaths, with some challenging ascents and descents which will ensure that sense of achievement after the event! The run takes in around 200m of ascent and as you will see from the course profile, ascends early on, before descending to the river Mawddach and steadily climbing back along the valley to the finish line at the Coed y Brenin visitor centre.
