From complete beginners to experienced runners

Pont-y-pwl & District Runners caters for anyone who has a passion to run and seeks the company of like-minded people to run with.

“If you run, you are a runner. It doesn’t matter how fast or how far. It doesn’t matter if today is your first or if you’ve been running for twenty years… There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get.– You Just Run”.
John Bingham
