How to enter the Cybi Coastal Marathon
Cybi Coastal Marathon route
The Cybi Coastal will be partially way-marked and will follow the paths, tracks, beaches and coastline of the Welsh national/Anglesey Coastal Path. The entire route passes through magnificent coastline scenery with fine views of wide bays, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, the famous South Stack lighthouse and the summit of Holyhead Mountain.
Starting in the port town of Holyhead this race takes you on a variety of surfaces. Easy going paved paths, a small amount of road sections, sandy beaches, fields and single tracks. Tricky cliff tops and with a few good hill climbs and to top it all off a short sharp climb to the top of Holyhead Mountain and back down to sea level. Depending on the weather, this course can be very muddy and trail shoes are highly recommended.

Was my first marathon and second marathon 2018 & 2019. Absolutely brutal but felt such an achievement at the end. Fabulous route, even with Holyhead mountain at mile 22! 😂 Amazing scenery and great pit stops. Will be back in 2020.........R
