Conwy Half Marathon
Conwy Half Marathon is a rolling half marathon in Conwy, UK, held each November. Starts at Conwy Quayside, follows the estuary to Deganwy and the Llandudno West Shore, passes the pier and loops the Great Orme before returning. The organiser calls the Orme section undulating, with a couple of steep parts. Mid-November on the North Wales coast is usually cool, damp and breezy, with temperatures of 4 to 11°C. With Conwy Half Marathon's constant undulation, pace by effort rather than the watch: even effort beats even splits here.

The course in numbers
The Great Orme loop is the hardest part, with a couple of steep sections after a flat run along the estuary and the Llandudno seafront.
- Surface
- Roads, partly open to traffic
Worth knowing
- Roads reopen to traffic on a rolling basis behind the slowest runners, so late finishers must follow the Highway Code.
- Runners who have done the Four Castles series can collect a special series medal at the merchandise tent.
