Event information

Course and event details
The route starts on the Alloy Industrial Estate and then moves off-road to a park and a riverside path past the Riverside Centre. Runners join the canal towpath, cross Herbert Street, go through an underpass and pass shops, a leisure centre and a school on a paved off-road path. The course meets the canal again at the edge of Trebanos and follows the River Tawe to finish at The Pontardawe Inn (Y Gwachel).
The run is described as a fun run rather than a race, so there will not be chip timing; a finishing position will be recorded. Runners are encouraged to wear fancy dress. Finishers receive a commemorative medal and a bottle of water, with prize-giving, mulled wine, mince pies and spot prizes for certain placed finishers. Prizes are also awarded for best fancy dress.
