Course Description

Runners are conveyed to the start by either the Talyllyn Train or by coach as the entry for these races exceeds the capacity of the trains. We will try to get runners onto the train with their friends and family. You disembark from the train at Dolgoch Station and walk down about 1/3 mile to the start marshals will be on hand to guide you. You will find clothes collection and toilets available here. The actual start whilst marshalled is started by the train’s whistle and you will be instructed at the start about this procedure. The initial mile of the course heads towards Tywyn across the fields and rough pasture with the railway higher up the hillside on your left side, it joins a short farm track before climbing gently over fields crossing the railway via a bridge to join a farm road before descending to Brynglas where the first water / refreshment point will be found. The station at Brynglas which is now on your right side is within a few yards of the course at this point. Proceeding up a track, through farm buildings, back on to rough grazing land the course now descends slightly to run very close to the railway before ascending steeply away from the railway. Climbing steeply up the field the track crosses another flat field to pass between an old farmhouse and it’s outbuildings. This is a private house and only opened for the race and the owners man a water point here. (The public footpath climbs further up the hill to skirt the house).

Disgrifiad o'r Cwrs

Caiff rhedwyr eu cyfleu i'r cychwyn naill ai gan Reilffordd Talyllyn neu ar y bws wrth i'r mynediad ar gyfer y rasys hyn fod yn fwy na chapasiti'r trenau. Byddwn yn ceisio cael rhedwyr ar y trên gyda'u ffrindiau a'u teulu. Byddwch yn gadael y trên yng Ngorsaf Dolgoch ac yn cerdded i lawr tua 1/3 milltir i'r cychwyn bydd marsialiaid wrth law i'ch tywys. Fe welwch gasglu dillad a thoiledau ar gael yma. Mae'r cychwyn go iawn wrth gael ei farsialu yn cael ei ddechrau gan chwiban y trên a byddwch yn cael eich cyfarwyddo ar y dechrau ynglŷn â'r weithdrefn hon. Mae milltir gyntaf y cwrs yn anelu tuag at Tywyn ar draws y caeau a phorfa garw gyda'r rheilffordd yn uwch i fyny'r bryn ar eich ochr chwith, mae'n ymuno â thrac fferm fer cyn dringo'n ysgafn dros gaeau sy'n croesi'r rheilffordd trwy bont i ymuno â ffordd fferm cyn disgyn i Frynglas lle ceir y dŵr / pwynt lluniaeth cyntaf. Mae'r orsaf ym Mrynglas sydd bellach ar eich ochr dde o fewn ychydig lathenni o'r cwrs ar hyn o bryd. Gan fynd ymlaen i fyny trac, trwy adeiladau fferm, yn ôl ymlaen i dir pori garw, mae'r cwrs bellach yn disgyn ychydig i redeg yn agos iawn at y rheilffordd cyn esgyn yn serth i ffwrdd o'r rheilffordd. Gan ddringo'n serth i fyny'r cae mae'r trac yn croesi cae fflat arall i fynd heibio rhwng hen ffermdy a'i adeiladau allanol. Mae hwn yn dŷ preifat a dim ond ar gyfer y ras ac mae'r perchnogion dyn dŵr fan hyn. (Mae'r llwybr troed cyhoeddus yn dringo ymhellach i fyny'r bryn i sgertio'r tŷ).
