Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Scare Bear Run 2026 - Wales
SAT OCT 17
Scare Bear Run is a themed running event in Wales, centered on a 7-hour time challenge. Participants select their own distance, starting with a minimum of 3km and adding laps as desired within the time limit. A lap is 4.37 miles (7km), though the organizer might use a 3.28-mile loop if course conditions necessitate. Runners of all abilities are welcome, including walkers. The finisher's reward is a medal inspired by the Care Bears.
RTT Gower Trail Half Marathon & 10K
SUN OCT 18
The Gower Trail Half Marathon & 10K takes place at Oxwich Bay, on the Gower Peninsula near Swansea, Wales. It marks the start of the RTT Series, offering runners their initial opportunity to earn points in the overall standings. The event features a self-navigated half marathon, alongside marked 10K and 5K routes. This race has been postponed; a new date is pending. The routes traverse coastal paths, woodland trails, rough terrain, and sand dunes, emphasizing the need for route awareness in this trail race. The half marathon is entirely self-navigated with checkpoints, while the 10K and 5K routes are marked. The event includes chip timing, aid stations, checkpoints, and a finisher’s medal. The start times are staggered, with the half marathon beginning before the shorter races.
Tenby 10K
SUN OCT 25
The Tenby 10K begins and ends in Tudor Square, located in the center of Tenby, a historic walled town on the Pembrokeshire coast in South West Wales. This 10-kilometre road race takes place in late October, starting at 10 am. It includes chip timing, course marshals, and a finisher t-shirt. The route encircles Tenby, utilizing the town as its primary setting instead of directing runners to a separate location. Waterfront Community Runners organize the race, which supports the Paul Sartori Foundation, a local hospice-at-home charity. A previous edition saw almost 1,000 participants and raised over £20,000 for the charity, attracting both running club members and individuals seeking to contribute to a local cause through their participation or sponsorship.
Tata Steel Richard Burton 10K
SUN NOV 1
The Tata Steel Richard Burton 10K begins and ends in Cwmafan, Port Talbot. Each autumn, runners participate in a community road race through the Welsh valleys. The event is open to participants aged 15 and up. It also features the Runtech Kevin Webber Mini Miler, a one-mile family fun run. The 10K course accommodates elite runners competing in Welsh road and veterans championships, while also welcoming local runners, novices, club athletes, and individuals connected to Port Talbot’s steel heritage. The race incorporates significant local history beyond a typical town 10K. It commemorates Richard Burton, the Welsh actor born in the region, and remembers three young local men who died in 1981. Shaun Tobin has managed the race for over 25 years, ensuring its connection to Port Talbot and preventing it from becoming a nondescript mass event. All proceeds benefit local charities and community groups, with over £250,000 raised for grassroots causes since its inception. Many Tata Steel employees typically participate as runners and volunteers, contributing to the day's blend of workplace, town, and running community spirit.
Cardiff 1.5k, 5k, 10k & Half Marathon MoRun
SUN NOV 1
MoRun Cardiff is a Movember running event held at Coopers Field in Bute Park, near the city end and central Cardiff. It features four distances on the same morning: a Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, and a 1.5k Mini MoRun for children and families. The Half Marathon begins first, followed by the 5k and 10k, with the Mini MoRun later. Registration opens early, race numbers and timing chips are collected on site, and all distances are chip timed with instant results at the finish. The route follows the paths of Bute Park, with runners grouped by estimated finish time and staggered at the start to prevent path congestion. The field is broad: half marathon runners, 10k and 5k runners, children, families, friends, first-timers, fundraisers, and those attending for the Movember spirit. Fancy dress is part of the day, and participants are encouraged to grow a moustache or paint one on. Every finisher receives a MoRun medal and headband, with additional prizes for fastest MoBro, fastest MoSista, best dressed, and best Mo. The event supports Movember, raising money and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention.
Cardiff 1,5 km, 5 km, 10 km & Semi-Marathon MoRun
SAT NOV 7
The Cardiff MoRun takes place in November at Bute Park, Coopers Field, offering races of 1.5 km, 5 km, 10 km, and a half marathon. Races begin in the morning, and chip timing is used for all distances, including the children's Mini MoRun, providing runners with immediate results. The atmosphere is intentionally festive, with a clear structure: choose a short family-friendly run, a standard 5k or 10k, or the full 21.0975 km half marathon. The courses cover Cardiff city grounds and public park areas. The 5k, 10k, and half marathon are each designed as single-loop routes. This event is part of the larger MoRunning series supporting Movember, which raises funds and awareness for men's health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Participants can donate during registration or create a fundraising page. All MoRunners receive a medal and a MoRunning headband. The event welcomes everyday runners, families, children, and friends, not exclusively club racers.
Afan Forest Half Marathon & 10K
SAT NOV 14
Trail Revolution Margam Trail Races
SAT NOV 14
Trail Revolution Margam Trail Races are November trail runs in Margam Park, with 5km, 10km, and half marathon options. The setting is parkland and forest rather than road, and the routes use undulating trails that make the event more about handling changing ground than chasing a flat fast time. The half marathon starts first in the morning, followed by the 10km and then the 5km, so runners can choose anything from a short forest race to a longer test around Margam. The event sits under the Trail Revolution banner and is aimed at runners who want hills, woodland, and a tougher surface underfoot.
The Smurf Run - Wales
SAT NOV 21
Newport 10k November 2026
SUN NOV 29
The Newport 10K begins and ends at Rodney Parade, the home ground of Dragons RFC and Newport County AFC. This 10K takes place in late November in Newport, starting at 09:00 on roads closed to traffic through the city centre. The route is described as flat and fast, suitable for runners aiming for steady pacing or those seeking a direct city race. The course features kilometre markers throughout, with marshals present to guide participants and encourage them to the finish. Spectators can find good vantage points near the stadium, and the race village offers refreshments and partner giveaways post-run. Entry includes chip timing, complimentary race photos, post-race items, and a themed medal.
RTT Afan Forest Trail 10K & 5K
SUN NOV 29
The RTT Afan Forest Trail 10K & 5K begins at Bryn Bettws Lodge, located near Port Talbot in South Wales. Both races commence at 11:00, following morning registration and a required briefing. This event serves as the concluding race of the RTT Series, meaning the outcomes will determine the overall standings and crown the series champions. The 5K and 10K courses follow distinct marked paths within Afan Forest Park, combining forest tracks, woodland trails, and hillside routes. Participants can anticipate varied terrain, consistent ascents, and some challenging sections. The race package includes marshals, aid stations, chip timing, and a finisher's medal. As the course utilizes public pathways, runners are requested to stay to the left when feasible and show consideration for other forest users.

About 10K races in Swansea

Swansea Training Notes

Swansea hosts 32 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals get their easy miles on the Swansea Seafront route, because the line from SA1 to Mumbles gives about 7 miles of flat coastal rhythm. Swansea Bay parkrun starts every Saturday at 9 AM from The Secret Beach Bar & Kitchen, and RAD Runners leave Beer Riff in Swansea Marina on Tuesdays at 6.30 PM for 5km or 8km. Swansea Striders meet Thursdays at 6 PM from Strand Car Park and Sundays at 10:30 AM from the Recreation Ground car park. Swansea Bay 10K, The Swansea 5K, Swansea Half Marathon and IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea are the anchor events.

Locals ride the Swansea Bay cycle route when they want clean Z2, because Swansea Prom runs for 5 miles along the sweep of Swansea Bay. NCN Route 4, NCN Route 43 and the Celtic Trail link the city into proper base miles, while Clyne Valley Country Park keeps the legs turning away from the front. Swansea CTC rides Sundays and Wednesdays from spots like the Marina, Killay, Gowerton, Briton Ferry and Neath, and Swansea Wheelers, Swansea Velo Club and Gower Riders fill the bunch-ride calendar. Constitution Hill, Rhossili Down, Llanmadoc Hill, the Lliw uplands and the Black Mountain foothills hold the climbs.

Swansea works best when the days are longer, and summer gives the Gower off-road cycle network mostly dry riding across its 27 kilometres of paths. The coastline still catches rain-bearing Atlantic winds, so locals keep one eye on the prom before intervals or a steady spin. Peak holiday season changes the feel on some Gower roads, while the bay still gives runners space for tempo work and easy doubles. Winter makes some off-road routes muddy or even boggy, and the same wind that sharpens a run home can turn a ride back into honest cyclocross practice.
