The Cybi Coastal Marathon course circumnavigated Ynys Cybi on the coastal path and is hoping to establish itself as one of the most scenic marathons in the UK. The course followed the paths, tracks, beaches and coastline of the Welsh national/Anglesey Coastal Path with fine views of wide bays, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, the famous South Stack lighthouse and the summit of Holyhead Mountain. Ian Reid completed the race in a shade over 5 hours and said after the race "Tough day out at the Cybi Marathon running the coast path around Holy Island Anglesey. Apparently ranked the 8th toughest marathon in the world. Managed to finish seconds over five hours, only fell over once and won my age category. Would recommend to others but not sure I'd do it again!"
