On Sunday 21st September is the annual Swansea Bay 10K, 5K, 3K &1K races. Set along the stunning setting of Swansea Bay, this annual road race was voted the third best race in the UK in 2006 (the London Marathon was first).
The day isn't just for adults there are various fun races throughout the morning to suit different ages and abilities. Juniors can choose from 1k, 3k and 5k races.
With its picturesque, fast, flat surface, entries have been closed well before the event in previous years, so, as entries are again limited for this years race, you will need to get your entries in early. Whether you are a novice or serious runner, this route is ideal. Fun runners can enjoy the atmosphere and scenery on the flat surface, whilst the more competitive runners can aim to get a fast time in, if the weather conditions are right! With a prize fund worth over £7000, a free t-shirt for the first 3,500 entries, along with a medal, goody bags and a certificate for all runners, you will also receive a free water bottle at 5k and at the end of the race.
