Organisers said it was a 'no brainer' to remove the English name, following a wider change to drop English titles across Snowdonia.
The event, which attracts hundreds of runners from across Mid Wales and Shropshire, will now be known as Marathon Eryri.
Last year, the national park authority voted to refer to the national park and Wales' tallest mountain by their Welsh names – Eryri and Yr Wyddfa.The Bannau Brycheiniog national park made a similar move earlier this year, electing to use its Welsh name rather than the English name, the Brecon Beacons.Announcing the move on Facebook, the race said:"Same awesome race, same fantastic views, same incredible participants, new authentic name.
Ms Lloyd said that the Welsh language is a"centrepin" of the race's identity, adding:"Snowdonia's name is Eryri. Snowdonia is an English word, an English imposition – the same as Yr Wyddfa."It's a Welsh event and people coming here have a Welsh experience, it's something they can't get anywhere else in the UK."
