Admiral Swansea Bay 10k

This morning, along with 4,500 runners, their relatives and friends, officials and spectators, I braved the rain to attend the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k race, with runners setting off from near the |Patti Pavilion to Mumbles and back.

My role was  to start the race alongside the official starter, including the wheelchair race, the main race with the  elite athletes at the forefront, and the mascot race.

I then held the tape for the men's and ladies races and presented medals to the winners. We were fortunate that by-and-large the rain held off, although there were one or two heavy showers. Nevertheless, everybody enjoyed themselves, a lot of money was collected in sponsorship for various charities and there were also bucket collections for the Lord Mayor's charity.
