The Swansea Striders<\/a> were this week’s Run Wales baton bearers as they participated in the Run Wales Social Running Celebration Relay at Swansea Bay parkrun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Celebration relay provides all Run Wales registered groups<\/a> with a tremendous opportunity to showcase their group, sharing information about their activities and encouraging more people to participate in social running outside of their regular weekly parkrun.  We are encouraging groups to support their local parkrun by offering to volunteer as well as run, jog or walk at the relay events.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

17\/47: Celebration Relay Run Report – Swansea Bay parkrun <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Swansea Striders<\/a> had a great morning at Swansea Bay parkrun<\/a>, arriving early and having a nice chat with the Run Director and volunteers before the runners arrived – always a great welcome from the friendly team at Swansea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On a cold morning, and with the marshalling positions all filled, we took up a cheering place along the route. It was great to see so many runners braving the cold conditions with some really fast times on the flat route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The solid pavement along the prom makes this ‘out and back’ course perfect for everyone, including PB chasers, parkwalkers and wheelchair users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting on The Promenade, heading towards Mumbles, the course is plenty wide enough to comfortably accommodate the 295 runners, joggers and walkers who joined the event this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catching up with members of For the Love of Trails in South Wales<\/a>, after the run was great, passing over the baton and chatting with strangers about running – it’s what parkrun is all about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to supporting them at the Gnoll parkrun<\/a> next week and of course being back at Swansea Bay parkrun<\/a> soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

This week 295 people walked, jogged or ran the course, of whom 25 were first timers and 31 recorded new Personal Bests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives of 29 different clubs took part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was made possible by 28 volunteers: Karen PENNY \u2022 Peter DEACON \u2022 Mark FAULKNER \u2022 Paula STOCKLEY \u2022 Hannah BISHOP \u2022 Laura STOCKLEY \u2022 Tash SMITH \u2022 Henry CLARKE \u2022 Dewi WEST \u2022 Gareth SULLIVAN \u2022 Alan GRIFFITHS \u2022 Hayden VENTRESS-BRETT \u2022 Emma BRETTELL \u2022 Rachel WALLIS \u2022 Glenn PHILLIPS \u2022 Catrin GRIFFITHS \u2022 Vickie HUMBER \u2022 Alison HOLE \u2022 Gareth DOWDELL \u2022 Huw BELLAMY \u2022 Efa BELLAMY \u2022 Malcolm PHILLIPS \u2022 Rhian BELLAMY \u2022 Lincoln RUSS \u2022 Debs HARRIS \u2022 Amy THEOBALD \u2022 Grace HARRIS \u2022 Jamie DAVIES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s full results and a complete event history can be found on the Swansea Bay parkrun Results Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Members of social running group, For the Love of Trails in South Wales<\/a> will be taking the lead for the relay next week as we celebrate at <\/strong>Gnoll parkrun<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
