Great Welsh Marathon Events

The Great Welsh Marathon Events stage a set of road races at Pembrey Country Park (SA16 0EJ). Distances on offer include a marathon, a half marathon and a 10K. The events are UKA licensed and AIMS certified and hold World Marathon Majors qualifying status.

The organiser aims to relocate the event to a new course in 2027 and will announce the new route. Hydration and energy stations run along the routes and Brecon Carreg supplies water at specific points for each distance. Water is also available at the finish. On-course toilets and facilities are provided, including women-only toilets stocked with sanitary items.

Race packs, which include the race number with an integrated timing chip and safety pins, are posted out roughly two weeks before race day. There is no entry or registration on the day. Cut-off times are published for the races. St John Cymru Wales provides medical cover along the route.

Entry changes and absence options are managed through the participant dashboard. Transfers to another person are permitted with a minimum transferee fee and a 31 January 2026 deadline. Transfers to other Front Runner Events are allowed and share the same deadline. Deferrals into the next year are possible for medical reasons with proof and a fee by 4 March 2026. Refunds are not offered except where a separate ticket protection policy was purchased. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
