Course and event features
The route starts on the Alloy Industrial Estate and moves off-road to a park, then follows a riverside path past the Riverside Centre to join the canal towpath. The course crosses Herbert Street, continues along the canal through an underpass and past shops, a leisure centre and a school, meets the canal again at the edge of Trebanos, and then follows the River Tawe to finish at The Pontardawe Inn (Y Gwachel). Race numbers are collected at the finishing pub.
The event encourages fancy dress. Finishers receive a commemorative medal and a bottle of water. Prize-giving takes place at the pub and includes mulled wine and mince pies. There is no chip timing; a finishing position will be given. Spot prizes are planned for certain placed finishers (for example 10th, 25th, 40th) and there are prizes for best fancy dress.
