The Bangor City 10K and Half Marathon offer runners two distance options from a single North Wales race base: a 10K or a half marathon. Both races commence at 10am, with race-day headquarters opening at 8am for number and chip collection. The event takes place in autumn. Runners must maintain a pace under 15 minutes per mile; participants falling outside this pace after the third mile may be removed from the race.
The route departs from Bangor’s centre or dockside start area, heading towards the coast. It includes a section along Garth Pier, crossing the Menai Straits. Runners are treated to open views of Anglesey, Snowdonia, and the North Wales coastline before the course transitions to woodland paths and makes its way back to the finish. All finishers will receive a custom medal and a technical T-shirt. Participants should arrange their own pay-and-display parking in town, as there is no designated event parking.
