The Wales Marathon - Testimonials

Rob Atkin (Winner 2010)
"Tenby marathon was a superbly organised race set in a stunning location. I fully enjoyed the whole day; the course was challenging but the fantastic support from the locals all the way round really helped to keep the pace going. I will definitely be back in 2011 to defend my title and hope to take some minutes off my previous time"
