Stan Appleton at Snowdonia
Last weekend Stan Appleton travelled to a wet and misty Wales for the Snowdonia Trail Marathon. The route measures 44 km with 1,811 m of climb beginning with a 600 m pass straight from the start, and at the 33 km stage it goes up and over Snowdon itself.
Despite taking a fall on the ascent from Snowdon, Stan, who was the oldest competitor, recorded a finish time of 6 hours 34 minutes with the winner recording a sub four hour time of 3:58.
