One of the true highlights of the running calendar, and what a way to bring our 2025 Club Championships to a close!

This iconic race once again delivered a fantastic community atmosphere, with incredible support from start to finish. From the roar on the start line to the sprint down to Cwmafan, it really had it all 💪🔥

Over 100 Port Talbot Harriers lined up today, filling the streets with black, white and red, what a turnout! 🤩
The pride, passion, and teamwork on display was something special.

It was also brilliant to see families taking part in the Mini Miler, with plenty of future Harriers showing their love for running already 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️✨
