Omar Ahmed, Josh Griffiths and Charlotte Taylor will headline the Brecon Carreg Porthcawl 10K on Sunday 5 July.  The sixth edition of Wales’ fourth largest road race takes place on a revised course and hosts the third fixture in the R4W 10k Series.

Omar Ahmed (28:27) has won all four of the R4W 10K races in the past and will start as a big favourite here. His most recent victories came at Colshaw Hall and at the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Half Marathon.

Josh Griffiths (28:41) scored his most recent notable victories at the Llanelli 10K in February and at the MBNA Chester Marathon in late 2025. He will line up alongside Sam Tyas (29:22) who set his impressive lifetime best at Trafford two years ago.

Phil Wylie (29:30), Ciaran Lewis (29:45), Jon Butler (29:52) and Adam Bowden (30:26) are all stalwarts of Run 4 Wales races and will line up as the next fastest athletes on paper.

Butler was the runaway winner at the Barry Island 10K last month and the runner up in Newport back in April. Ciaran Lewis will be looking to round into form following an appearance at the Recent Welsh Castles Relay which marked a return from injury.     

Charlotte Taylor was also a winner in Barry, revising the course record to 33:08 with a new lifetime best and will be likely to go faster on the flatter Porthcawl course. The Bristol & West AC Athlete boasts a Half Marathon best of 70:38 set with a third-place finish at the 2025 Manchester Half Marathon and was the top British finisher at the Oysho Cardiff Half Marathon last October.

Former Welsh 10km Champion Olivia Tsim (33:57) was fifth in Barry and is joined by Tamara Beach (34:29), Georgia Palmer (35:00) and Kate Roberts (35:03) as the next fastest entrants.

ABP Newport 10K winner Donna Morris (35:16) will also be in action here.
