History
The first Lake Vyrnwy Half Marathon was held in 1988 in aid of the St Wddyn's Church Restoration Fund . An appeal to raise money towards the church roof had been placed in a local newspaper and Doug Morris, of the Oswestry Olympians, offered to organise a half marathon for the appeal . The race has been run annually until 2008 when after Doug Morris' death, just before the 2007 edition, the race organisers took a year off before restarting in 2009.
Course
The race consists of just over one lap of the lake.
