Swansea Race Full to Capacity

May 21, 2009 - PRLog -- 4,500 people have entered the 5k race and 700 people have entered the 10k race in Swansea.

Race organisers say that it is the most successful year in Swansea yet for Race for Life, and are urging people still wanting to take part to enter the Llanelli Race for Life on 14 June.

Sian Davies, Swansea Bay Summer Festival co-ordinator says “We’re really pleased that the Race for Life in Swansea has filled up so quickly. It’s a fantastic event to take part in, and raises much needed money for a valuable cause.”

People in Swansea are certainly getting their running shoes on in their droves as the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k is fast filling up too. Over 1500 people have entered the main race and hundreds of entries are flooding in every week through the website.

Sian Davies continues “The 10k run is usually filled up by August, but the entries are coming in thick and fast. I’d urge people to get their entries in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.”

Both events have been advertised in the Swansea Bay Summer Festival brochure and on the website which promotes events taking place in the city between May and September. Other sporting events coming up this year include the LC Swansea Bay 5k series, The Gower Bike Ride and Junior Bike Ride.
