The Porthcawl 10K is making a return to the town known for surf, sports and coastal walks.

The exciting event, which has become a firm favourite on the Welsh running calendar will be back for its third iteration on Sunday 2 July in 2023 following the incredible success of the first two editions.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic meant a forced hiatus after the inaugural edition in 2019, the race made a triumphant return in the summer of 2022 and is back by popular demand for 2023!

The event has proved a hit with locals and visitors alike, taking place on a route that shows off a number of landmarks and seaside spots including Rest Bay, Trecco Bay, Coney Bay, the historic Grand Pavillion and the iconic Porthcawl lighthouse.

The fun and exciting atmosphere has proved popular with everyone – from first time runners right through to top elite athletes. A series of supporting Junior races follow the 10K – meaning runners of all ages and abilities can get in on the action.

Entries will go on sale this week, with registration opening on Thursday 10 November. The race will once again form part of the R4W 10K Series (which includes races in Cardiff Bay, Newport, Porthcawl and Barry Island) with a Season Ticket offer available.

A limited number of multi-event passes will be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis for those looking to enter two or more events in the 10K Series, with the discount increasing when you commit to more races.

Only 1,000 multi-event passes are available in each race and are expected to sell out fast. There are savings of up to £28 (equivalent to one race free!) available when committing to all four events.

You can now pre-register and receive priority access to the Season Ticket offer. Those pre-registering will receive a priority access registration link on Thursday 10 November, hours before entries open to the public. Individual Porthcawl 10K entries, starting from £26 will also be available.
