About the race
Phoenix Running South Wales stages the South Wales Christmas Jumper Run on 5 December 2026 at Parc Taf Bargoed in Trelewis. The event uses a 5.3 km (3.28 mile) out-and-back lap on entirely tarmac surfaces through a Green Flag park that reflects local industrial history and recent redevelopment.
Entry options were available as affiliated (£33.00) and unaffiliated (£35.00). The deadline to secure a bespoke Christmas running top has passed; only no-jumper entries remain. The bespoke long-sleeved technical running tops were produced for the event by REdbEAR Sports and were available to entrants who registered by 14 October 2026.
