Llandeilo ready for fun run
People of all ages can dig out their trainers and put their best foot forward in a fun run being held in Llandeilo.
The event is being staged by the Carmarthenshire County Council-led Tywi Afon Yr Oesoedd project on Sunday, September 6.
Runners will be able to take in some of the area’s most breathtaking scenery, including the Dinefwr Park’s 12th century castle, historic home and medieval deer park.
The event will start at 10.30am at Llandeilo RFC’s playing fields, with a 1km flat run for children around the playing fields, followed by a 5km adults run at 11.15am.
Entry fees are £3 for children, £5 for adults who are affiliated to Welsh Athletics or UK Athletics, and £7 for adults that are non-affiliated. The fees will cover the costs of staging the event.
Tywi Afon Yr Oesoedd (Tywi A River Through Time) is aimed at conserving the area’s history and creating a legacy for future generations.
Through a series of interesting events, covering education, leisure and history, locals are being encouraged to learn about their environment and gain skills to preserve the landscape for the years ahead.
The project has received £1.5 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund, £557,378 from the Rural Development Plan and support from the Countryside Council for Wales and the National Trust.
Helena Burke, volunteer officer for the project, said: “This fun family event will allow those who enjoy keeping fit or enjoy setting themselves a challenge to run through the park and appreciate the outstanding landscape we have in the Tywi valley.”
The Fun Run is being organised by Chairman of Llanelli Triathlon Club Noelwyn Daniel.
He said: “We would like to invite everyone to take part in the day's activities, whether they are experienced runners or complete novices.
“Children's races always prove to be a huge attraction and everyone who finishes this fun run will receive a medal for their efforts.”
Runners can pick up an entry form from Carmarthenshire leisure centres, or from local businesses in Llandeilo.
