Deadline looming for 10k entries

FITNESS fans and charity fundraisers only have until the end of the month to enter this year’s Admiral Swansea Bay 10k

Runners are advised to get their entries in before the closing date of August 31 as spaces are filling up fast.
The event has reached capacity prior to the closing date for the last seven years.

Swansea Council is behind the race, which is being sponsored by Admiral for the ninth consecutive year. The race will take place along Swansea Bay on Sunday September 20.

The Admiral Swansea Bay 10k, one of the most popular races in the running calendar, also stages the Welsh 10k Championships as part of the event. About 4,500 people are expected to take part this year.

Cllr Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Enterprise, Development and Regeneration, said: “The Admiral Swansea Bay 10k has grown into one of the best races of its kind in the UK. It’s one of the highlights of our Enjoy Swansea events programme that won’t just attract thousands of participants – it will also attract many thousands of spectators, boost local traders and further raise Swansea’s profile as a leading city of sport.

“If you’re looking to beat your personal best, conquer a fitness challenge or raise money for charity, the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k is the perfect event. Anyone who hasn’t submitted their forms yet needs to do so by the end of the month to make sure they’re able to take part on the day. The flat, fast and scenic route is absolutely fantastic.”

Each Admiral Swansea Bay 10k finisher will receive a medal and, for the first time, each entrant will get a technical t-shirt.
