Admiral Swansea Bay 10k
2 WEEKS IN AND NO TURNING BACK
She’s been in training for just over 2 weeks now and with less than a month to go, Georgia is starting to up the ante and focus on beating that PB! Here’s the next instalment of her training blog ready for the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k on Sunday 24 September.
Anfonir miloedd o becynnau ras i’r rheiny sy’n rhedeg 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral yn hwyrach yr wythnos hon.
Mae’r pecynnau ras yn cynnwys arweiniad ar gyfer diwrnod y ras, rhifau ar gyfer y ras gyda sglodion electronig ar y cefn a manylion am sut i gasglu crys-t 2017.
Cyngor Abertawe sy’n gyfrifol am 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral a gynhelir ddydd Sul 24 Medi eleni.
Yn ogystal â’r 10k, bydd rasys iau 1k, 3k a 5k ynghyd â ras mewn cadair olwyn 10k.
Disgwylir y bydd oddeutu 4,500 o bobl yn cymryd rhan eleni ac mae’r dyddiad cau, 31 Awst, yn prysur nesáu.
Meddai’r Cyng. Robert Francis-Davies, Aelod Cabinet Cyngor Abertawe dros Ddiwylliant, Twristiaeth a Phrosiectau Mawr, “Mae 10k Bae Abertawe, a noddir gan Admiral am yr unfed flwyddyn ar ddeg yn olynol, yn ddathliad o ddiwylliant chwaraeon a rhedeg Abertawe a gaiff ei rannu â gweddill y DU a’r tu hwnt os ydym yn ennill teitl Dinas Diwylliant y DU 2021.
“Mae dosbarthu’r miloedd o becynnau ras yn dangos bod digwyddiad 2017 yn nesáu, ond mae amser i gofrestru o hyd. Dyma pam y byddwn yn annog unrhyw un sydd am gymryd rhan i gyflwyno ei ffurflen erbyn 31 Awst i osgoi cael siomi.
“Mae 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral, gyda bae byd-enwog Abertawe yn y cefndir, yn ddigwyddiad gwych i athletwyr elitaidd, rhedwyr profiadol a phobl sydd am godi arian ar gyfer elusen neu gyflawni heriau ffitrwydd personol
“Gyda thorf enfawr yn sefyll ar ochr y llwybr unwaith eto, mae gan y digwyddiad gymuned wych sy’n helpu i ysbrydoli pawb sy’n cymryd rhan. Yn gynharach eleni, enwyd y digwyddiad yn ail ras 10k orau’r DU yng Ngwobrau Rhedeg 2017, ac enillodd y rasys iau deitl y digwyddiad gorau i blant yn y DU. Mae hyn o ganlyniad i drefnu ac ansawdd 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral.”
Cynhelir ras fasgotiaid ar y diwrnod hefyd, felly croesewir pobl sydd am gofrestru fel rhan o grwpiau, sefydliadau a chwmnïau mewn ymdrech i ennill y £100 sydd ar gael i’r masgot buddugol.
THOUSANDS of race packs are being sent out to Admiral Swansea Bay 10k runners later this week.
The race packs include a race day guide, race numbers with electronic time-recording chips on the back and details on how to collect the 2017 tech t-shirt.
Swansea Council is behind the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k, which is taking place this year on Sunday September 24.
As well as the 10k, there are also 1k, 3k and 5k junior fun runs, along with a 10k wheelchair race.
About 4,500 people are expected to take part this year, with the August 31 deadline to enter now fast-approaching.
Cllr Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Tourism and Major Projects, said: “The Swansea Bay 10k, being sponsored by Admiral for the eleventh year in succession, is a celebration of Swansea’s sporting and running culture that will be shared with the rest of the UK and beyond if we win the UK City of Culture 2021 title.
“The distribution of thousands of race packs shows the 2018 event is edging ever closer, but there’s still time to enter. This is why I’d urge anyone who wants to take part to get their forms in by August 31 to avoid disappointment – there are only approximately 500 spaces left.
“The Admiral Swansea Bay 10k, set against the world class backdrop of Swansea Bay, is a fantastic event for elite athletes, experienced runners and people looking to raise money for charity or tackle personal fitness challenges.
“With a huge crowd sure to line the route once again, the event has a fantastic community feel that helps to inspire everyone who takes part. Earlier this year, the event was named the UK’s second best 10k in The 2017 Running Awards, with the junior races being named the UK’s best child friendly event. This is testament to the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k’s organisation and quality.”
A mascot race is also taking place on the day of this year’s 10k, so entries are invited from groups, organisations and companies looking to win the £100 on offer for the winning mascot.
