Glynneath Boxing Day 5 Miler

The return of the much loved and local race, the Glynneath Boxing Day 5 Miler! This race had been retired earlier in the year and was brought back by Tough Runner. 18 of Team PTH got their new prezzies on, whether it be new running shoes or our fantastic new kits.

Porthcawl Lions and Porthcawl Runners put on their fantastic Boxing Day run which has been running for over 30 years! The weather was questionable at times but the community support, runners on the start line and the course surely made up for it!
