Over the past three weeks, we have had the pleasure of introducing you to each of our finalists for the Run Wales Volunteer of the Year Award for 2022. The winner will be announced this weekend at the Welsh Athletics Annual Awards at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are indebted to all the volunteers who give their time to make our running groups so amazing, whether that is supporting other members, or behind the scenes organising activities to keep things fun, challenging and safe. Thank you to everyone who took time to nominate a volunteer from their group – we received fantastic nominations for many inspiring volunteers, but we are delighted to share the videos below, supporting our three finalists: Paula<\/a>, Geraint <\/a>and Myfanwy<\/a>. Congratulations and pwb lwc!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
