A fast, flat and scenic race in the heart of Swansea. Set against the backdrop of the marina and waterfront, the event gives runners the chance to enjoy a lively atmosphere, sea views and an iconic finish in front of the National Waterfront Museum.
The race starts outside East Burrows Car Park at 3:00pm and follows a single-lap out-and-back route along the Swansea waterfront, heading towards Mumbles before returning to the city for the finish. The course is fully marshalled and clearly signed. Registration is based at the Dylan Thomas Centre, open on Saturday 23 May and again on Sunday morning, and official parking is available at St Davids Multi-Storey, Copr Bay South, Trawler Road Car Park, Marina Park, Paxton Street Car Park and The Quadrant. Expect a well-organised race-day experience, a bottle of water at the finish. Entry for 2026 is online, with prices from £25.
