The Scott Snowdonia Trail Marathon truly is an epic event and deserves every credit, it is run truly in the spirit of Always Aim High Events, as it is a real adventure exploring stunning mountains trails in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park”.

He continued: “Our team at Always Aim High put on awesome event experiences on every occasion, and I am delighted that their hard work and commitment has been formally recognised in this way. Thanks to the support from our friends at Scott Sports, the 2016 race will be even better!”.
