Time to enter the Nick Beer 10k race in Llandudno on 9/2/25
Nick Beer Llandudno 10k - 9th Feb 2025
Starting on the iconic Victorian promenade in Llandudno, the route takes runners around the awe-inspiring Great Orme with its stunning views of Eryri (Snowdonia), Anglesey and beyond.
The 10k course.
The race starts on the beautiful North Shore of the Llandudno Promenade outside the Imperial Hotel. You’ll run past the iconic pier and onto the Great Orme itself.
With sea views on one side and towering cliffs on the other, you surely won’t notice the incline under your legs in this first section!
At the far end of the Great Orme is the ‘Rest And Be Thankful' cafe, which marks you're close to the halfway point. No time to rest, but get ready to be thankful because the wonderful flying descent is just ahead!
You’ll flow down the road towards West Shore enjoying incredible views of Conwy Castle and Anglesey ahead and to your right. At 8km you’ll arrive back in Llandudno and run along the historic Victorian streets that will take you back to the Promenade and the Finish Line.
*This event has some great history, so you can read all about the man who inspired it, Nick Beer, 1965-1992.

Living with hydrocephalus, Nick sadly passed away after finishing the Vyrnwy half marathon in September 1992. He was just 27 years old. He joined NWRRC from Colwyn Bay A.C and his smile soon made him lots of friends. He was there at every race. He tried and tried until his improvements staggered us all, and you could always rely on that smile at the finishing post.
We all need occasional laughter to make us feel good, and Nick provided that in abundance. His presence was welcome, pervasive, selflessly giving and never asking the price.
When this event runs every year, it will remind us of the importance and positive results that trying hard and participating can bring. Nick Beer was a true son of the sporting ethic who left us with a wealth of memories and a legacy of inspiration.
