The route is marked for about 2
miles before hitting the mountains proper, after which runners will
make their own tracks between the 4 major peaks of the Rhinog range:
Rhinog Fawr (720m); Rhinog Fach (712m);
Y Llethr (756m) and Moelfre (583m), with
checkpoints on and off the mountains and in Bwlch Drws Ardudwy,
the pass between the 2 Rhinogs.

the outward route but avoiding the initial road section.
