Change to the Course
This year we have taken the decision to extend the Red Kite Challenge to a half marathon, this will mean that you'll need to run for a further 1.5miles. We'll also be redesigning the course to make life a bit more interesting, the route will be confirmed after we have been out and checked the tracks we want to use. We think the course will stay the same out to Llyn Blaenmelindwr and then deviate into a previously unexplored valley before returning to the lake again. The return leg to the visitors centre may also change but we haven't decided yet.

We'll keep the website updated as well as the facebook page.

Other Changes
The price will remain the same as 2012. This year we decided not to apply to hold the Senior Welsh Championships, we don't feel that this will detract from the event and will at least keep the prize giving short and sharp.

Juniors
We are already looking at ways at how we can make the junior races better, this year we are hoping to be the Welsh junior championships and mountain running selection race again, we'll confirm this after Christmas along with the age groups. However, what ever happens we will put on a junior race.

 
Ras y Diafol - 17.5m
  We don't envisage any change to Sunday's part of the challenge, the route is likely to be the same as will the price.
