The Healthspan Porthcawl 10K will take place on fully closed-roads and has been devised by Race Director and double Olympic marathon runner Steve Brace, who has intimate knowledge of the local area.
The race will start and finish in a festival atmosphere outside the historic Porthcawl Pavilion on the Promenade and will showcase the very best of the seaside town.
Runners will be treated to panoramic views across Newton Bay, Trecco Bay, Sandy Bay as they race through Trecco Bay Holiday Park and Coney Beach Pleasure Park, before setting off on the second-half of their 10K journey.
Live music will give the mass race a much needed boost through the heart of the town’s shopping district on John Street. As they conclude their 10K journey, runners will be treated to views of Rest Bay before the famous Porthcawl Lighthouse comes into view to signal a sprint finish along the Promenade.
Healthspan believe that staying active, eating well and having a positive outlook leads to a long and healthy lifespan.
For over 20 years Healthspan have been supporting the health and wellness of the nation by supplying the highest quality vitamins, supplements and health advice.
Although they advocate that a balanced diet should always come first, exercise increases your body’s nutrient demands, making it difficult to get all the nutrition you need through food alone – especially when you’re on the go.
This is where their health products can play a supporting role.
