Porthcawl parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is at Porthcawl Seafront, Bridgend County, South Wales. The course is run mostly on tarmac paths, with a 400 metre section on grass and firm sandy paths at its furthest point. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

What people say

“A really well managed parkrun with a fairly flat route compared to others. If you’re looking to get an improved time, you will need to push to the front. When I visited they had separate areas for timings.”barryblears · 5 stars
