Race bid to close 'too busy' Snowdon

Organisers of the annual Snowdon Race want the peak to be closed to walkers on race days claiming it is "too busy".

They have said a change to the course this year will mean 600 runners will share the most congested part of the route with other mountain users.

Snowdonia National Park, which looks after the peak, said there are no plans to close the mountain and the situation is being managed.

Helen Pye is the park warden for Snowdon.
