With the end of winter edging closer, attentions are turning to brighter days and the inaugural year of the Porthcawl 10K, taking place on Sunday 7th July. We want to help get runners in the spirit of things, even though we’ve still got some time to wait until the start gun sounds! Here are our 10 reasons to start getting excited.

A new medal for your collection
Plans are underway for the Porthcawl 10K and Family Fun Run finishers medal. What do you want to see on your first-year bling?
And t-shirt to wear with pride
