The Great Christmas Fun Run 2026

The Great Christmas Fun Run begins and ends at Oyster Wharf in Mumbles, located on the Swansea seafront. This event features a Christmas theme, offering a 1k race for children and 5k and 10k races for older participants. Registration occurs in the morning, followed by race briefings prior to each start, with awards presented in the early afternoon. The course follows the seafront promenade. The 1k race is structured as a straightforward out-and-back route. Participants should stay to the left and share the path with other users. The event strongly embraces the holiday spirit, encouraging Santa hats and festive attire, with organizers aiming to assemble a large field of participants in fancy dress. All finishers will receive a festive medal. The races include chip timing, water stations, and event facilities.
