A NEW date and a new lead charity partner have been announced for next year’s Porthcawl 10K.
The big day will be Sunday, 6th July, this time with Tŷ Hafan alongside. Entries to the event will open on Thursday, 28th November and the first 500 to sign up will be able to take advantage of early bird pricing.
However, for those who don’t want to wait until the official launch date for general entry, they can enter now to run for Tŷ Hafan. The children’s hospice provides comfort, care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their loved ones.
For one week only, runners can opt to run for the charity for free. This then rises to £5 until the end of January and then to £8 up until the event. Those who choose to run as part of Team Tŷ Hafan must pledge to raise at least £150.
James Davies-Hale, head of fundraising at Tŷ Hafan, said: “We’re thrilled to be lead charity partner at the Porthcawl 10k. Right now, Tŷ Hafan are currently only able to reach 1 in 10 families who need our help which is why we’re asking as many people as possible to join our fundraising team so that when a child’s life will be short, Tŷ Hafan can walk alongside every family, through life, death and beyond.
“Tŷ Hafan is free of charge for the children and families who need our services and currently it only receives 14% funding from the Welsh Government towards our annual running costs of £5.9 million. For a limited time only, we’re offering free entry into the event with a fundraising target of £150 and our team will be on hand to support you every step of the way.”
Steve Brace, race director at Run 4 Wales, added: “The race has become a firm favourite amongst runners and certainly holds a special place in my heart and knowing it will be supporting the children’s hospice and the incredible work that it does, is even better.”
When registrations open on 28th November there will be 500 early bird spaces available at £28. Once these are gone, general entry spaces are available at £32 or £30 for affiliated athletes.
