The Gorseinon 10K returns to the streets of Gorseinon on Sunday, April 12, with the main race starting at 9am.
The route will start and finish close to Penyrheol Leisure Centre before heading out through Gorseinon High Street to join the newly-refurbished cycle path for 4Kkm Runners will then head towards Pontarddulais before turning to run through Grovesend as they take on the final kilometres back to Penyrheol.
The event will be raising money to support the work of Morgan’s Army and other local causes and will also feature a 2km family fun run. Never miss a Swansea story by signing up to our newsletter here.
