Running Events in Swansea
Swansea has plenty to offer newbie runners, across all distances so anybody is encouraged to get involved. Shorter distances, such as 5k or 10k races, often have a fun, friendly, and family-focused atmosphere and are great for getting involved with the local community. The Swansea Bay 10k is a particularly scenic option. For Movember, there is also a popular 1.5k, 5k, and 10k MoRun. Longer distance races, such as half marathons and full distance marathons, require more training but have a rewarding pay-off. The Great Welsh Marathon in Pembrey Country Park is Wales' oldest marathon distance running event, and there is also a Half Marathon option. The real pull of the area is the access to epic rural adventures: the Gower Coastal Trail Races offer three long distance events, or you can experience what military training is like with the Forces March or the Blake Runner Ultra Marathon.
