THERE are just two weeks left for fitness fans and charity fundraisers to get their entries in for this year’s Admiral Swansea Bay 10k.

Swansea Council is behind the event, which is being sponsored by Admiral. As well as the 10k, there are also 1k and 3k junior fun runs, along with a 10k wheelchair race. About 5,000 people are expected to take part in this popular race once again this year.

Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration and Tourism, said: “An exceptionally popular feature of Swansea’s annual events calendar, the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k is a terrific race for elite athletes, charity fundraisers and people looking to tackle their personal bests or conquer personal fitness goals.

“Set against the iconic sweep of Swansea Bay on a flat course, this award-winning event also includes junior races for children, which give a great introduction to road-running.”

The Admiral Swansea Bay 10K has won numerous awards over the years and around 4,000 runners took part in last year’s main race, on a course that heads from St Helen’s Ground to Mumbles and back.

“People who take part are overwhelmingly positive about the experience because of the quality of the race’s organisation and management, and the support they receive from hundreds of people lining the route.

“With entries closing on August 31, I would urge anyone interested to enter this year’s event as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Remaining places are limited, and the race always reaches capacity, often before the closing date.”

This is the 16th Swansea Bay 10K that Admiral have sponsored. Paul Billington, Admiral UK Wellbeing & Workplace Support Manager, said, “We’re proud to be sponsoring the Admiral Bay Swansea 10K for the 16th year.

“Seeing so many people come together to take part, from professional athletes to those trying it for the first time, is fantastic to see. Over 200 Admiral colleagues have signed up to the challenge and are looking forward to another great event. Good luck to everyone taking part!”

Mae Cyngor Abertawe’n trefnu digwyddiad eleni ar gyfer ddydd Sul 18 Medi. Mae cynnig pris cofrestru cynnar ar gael tan 31 Ionawr.

Roedd digwyddiad y llynedd yn nodi’r 40fed tro i’r ras boblogaidd hon sydd bob amser yn cynnig cwrs arfordirol gwastad a hynod olygfaol gael ei chynnal.

Mae’r digwyddiad wedi ennill gwobrau’n rheolaidd ac mae’r cyngor am iddo barhau fel digwyddiad o safon, gan ddenu rhedwyr o bob oedran a gallu.

Sefydlodd Cyngor Abertawe’r ras ym 1981 ac maent wedi parhau i’w threfnu ers hynny – gan ei chynnwys yn rhaglen ddigwyddiadau flynyddol y ddinas.

Yr haf hwn fydd y 16eg achlysur hefyd i gwmni Admiral noddi’r digwyddiad, sydd yn ogystal â’r 10k yn cynnig rasys hwyl iau 1K a 3K, ynghyd â ras 10k i bobl mewn cadair olwyn a ras masgotiaid.

Meddai Aelod y Cabinet Robert Francis-Davies, “Mae ras 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral yn ddigwyddiad nodedig yn y calendr rhedeg ac mae’n denu cyfranogwyr o bob cwr o’r DU.

“Mae’n nodwedd boblogaidd iawn o galendr digwyddiadau blynyddol Abertawe; mae’n wych ar gyfer athletwyr ar lefel elît, pobl sy’n codi arian ar gyfer elusennau a’r rheini sy’n ceisio curo’u hamser gorau neu drechu’u nodau ffitrwydd.

“Mae cefndir anhygoel Bae Abertawe a’r cwrs gwastad yn golygu ei fod yn ddigwyddiad o’r radd flaenaf. “Roedd ras arbennig y llynedd i ddathlu’r 40fed ras yn llwyddiant enfawr – ac rydym yn hyderus y bydd digwyddiad 2022 yn llwyddiant hefyd.

“Rydym yn rhagweld bydd y galw am leoedd yn uchel unwaith eto eleni. Byddem felly’n annog unrhyw un sydd â diddordeb i gofrestru cyn gynted â phosib er mwyn osgoi cael ei siomi oherwydd unwaith y bydd y lleoedd ar gyfer y ras wedi’u llenwi, ni fydd rhagor ar gael!”

Meddai Rhian Langham, Pennaeth Gwasanaethau Pobl Admiral, “Rydym wrth ein boddau ein bod yn parhau i noddi ras 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral a’r rasys hwyl am y 16fed blwyddyn.

“Mae cefnogi digwyddiadau yn ein cymuned leol yn rhan fawr o ddiwylliant Admiral felly mae’n wych bod yn rhan o ddigwyddiad fel hwn, yn enwedig ar ôl blwyddyn anodd.

“Hoffwn ddymuno pob lwc i’r holl redwyr.”

Bydd Tîm Digwyddiadau’r cyngor yn parhau i fonitro sefyllfa’r pandemig. Cynhelir ras 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral dim ond os yw’n dilyn holl reoliadau a chanllawiau perthnasol Llywodraeth Cymru, Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru ac Athletau’r DU.

Caiff cynlluniau eu hadolygu wrth i unrhyw ganllawiau newydd gael eu cyhoeddi a gall hyn gynnwys newidiadau a mesurau ychwanegol i sicrhau bod digwyddiad 2022 yn ddiogel i bawb a fydd yn cymryd rhan, gan gynnwys y gymuned leol ehangach.

Roedd tua 4,000 o redwyr wedi cymryd rhan yn y ras y llynedd, gan redeg rhwng San Helen a’r Mwmbwls. Dyma’r ras 10k orau yng Nghymru yn ôl Gwobrau Rhedeg 2019.

I gadw’ch lle ar linell gychwyn ras 2022 ac i fanteisio ar y cynnig cynnar

  Last year’s event marked the 40th edition of this highly popular race that always offers a flat, scenic coastal course.  

 The event has consistently won awards and the council wants it to continue as a high-quality event, attracting runners of all ages and abilities.  

 Swansea Council established the run in 1981 and has continued to organise it ever since – embedding it in the city’s annual events programme.  

 This summer will be the 16th occasion that Admiral has sponsored the event, which as well as the 10k, offers 1k and 3k junior fun runs, along with a 10k wheelchair race and a mascot race.  

 Council cabinet member Robert Francis-Davies said: “The Admiral Swansea Bay 10k is a landmark in the running calendar and attracts participants from all over the UK. 

 “It’s an exceptionally popular feature within Swansea’s annual events calendar; it’s fantastic for elite athletes, charity fundraisers and those looking to tackle their personal bests or conquer fitness goals.  

 “The tremendous Swansea Bay backdrop and flat course help make it a top class event. “Last year’s special anniversary race was a huge success – and we’re confident that the 2022 event will be another big hit. 

 “We anticipate that demand for places will be high once again this year. We’d therefore encourage anyone interested to enter as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment - once the race places have gone, they’ve gone!”  

 Rhian Langham, Admiral’s head of people services, said: “We’re delighted to continue our sponsorship of the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k race and fun runs for the 16th year.  

 “Supporting events in our local community is very much part of our culture at Admiral, so it’s great to be involved in an event like this, especially after a challenging year. 

 “I wish all the runners the very best of luck.” 

 The council’s events team continue to monitor the pandemic situation. The Admiral Swansea Bay 10k will only take place following the relevant regulations and guidance from Welsh Government, Public Health Wales and UK Athletics.  

 Plans will be reviewed as any new guidance is released and this may involve changes and additional measures to ensure the 2022 event is safe for everyone involved, including the wider local community. 

 Around 4,000 runners took part in last year’s 10k, running between St Helen’s and Mumbles. The event was voted Best 10k in Wales in the 2019 Running Awards.

Rhedwyr a chefnogwyr ar lan môr Abertawe ar gyfer ras 10k flynyddol lwyddiannus

By

Roedd rhedwyr a gwylwyr ar strydoedd Abertawe heddiw (ddydd Sul) ar gyfer ras 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral – oedd â thema liwgar yr 1980au.

Roedd tua 4,000 o redwyr wedi cymryd rhan yn un o’r digwyddiadau gorau o’i fath yn y DU. Dyma’r ras 10k orau yng Nghymru yn ôl Gwobrau Rhedeg 2019.

Yn ogystal â phrif ddigwyddiad y 10k, hefyd cynhaliwyd rasys iau 1k a 3k i blant a ras cadair olwyn 10k.

Cynhaliwyd y 40fed ras flynyddol rhwng San Helen a’r Mwmbwls, a chan mai’r thema oedd yr 80au, cafwyd gwisgoedd ffansi a hwyl o’r cyfnod hwnnw ar y dydd.

Roedd rhai agweddau ar y digwyddiad yn wahanol i’r blynyddoedd blaenorol oherwydd y mesurau yr oedd y trefnwyr, Cyngor Abertawe, wedi’u rhoi ar waith o ystyried y ffaith bod COVID-19 yn dal i fod gyda ni ac i helpu i leihau ymlediad y feirws ymhlith pawb a oedd yn rhan o’r digwyddiad.

Roedd y newidiadau’n cynnwys nifer is o gyfranogwyr, llai o ardaloedd lle byddai rhedwyr yn closio at ei gilydd a mesurau fel dechrau’r ras ar adegau gwahanol.

Meddai Robert Francis-Davies, Aelod y Cabinet dros Fuddsoddi, Adfywio a Thwristiaeth, “Mae 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral yn rhan allweddol o galendr digwyddiadau Abertawe felly roedd yn dda ei gweld yn ôl.

“Roedd miloedd o bobl wedi mwynhau’r awyrgylch ac wedi cael ychydig oriau mas rhagorol. Rydym yn gwneud popeth y gallwn i’w cadw’n ddiogel a diolchwn i bawb a gyfrannodd mewn unrhyw ffordd at wneud y digwyddiad yn llwyddiant. A gallwn ddweud yn awr ein bod yn bwriadu’i chynnal eto’r flwyddyn nesaf ar 18 Medi, felly dylai pob rhedwr brwd nodi’r dyddiad yn ei ddyddiadur.”

Hwn oedd y 15fed tro i Admiral noddi’r digwyddiad.

Bydd holl ganlyniadau’r rasys ar gael i’w gweld ar-lein.

Bydd ffotograffau swyddogol o’r rasys ar gael yr wythnos hon ganphoto-fit.net, ffotograffydd swyddogol ras 10K Bae Abertawe Admiral.

Mae Cyngor Abertawe bellach wedi cadarnhau y cynhelir 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral 2022 ddydd Sul 18 Medi.

Runners and supporters hit Swansea seafront for annual 10k success

By

RUNNERS and spectators took to the streets of Swansea today (/ on Sunday) for the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k – with a colourful 1980s theme.

 Around 4,000 runners took centre stage for what is one of the top events of its kind in the UK. The event was voted Best 10k in Wales in the 2019 Running Awards.

As well as the main 10k event, there were also 1k and 3k races for juniors plus a 10k wheelchair race.

The 40th anniversary staging of the annual race took place between St Helen’s and Mumbles – and the 80s theme saw fancy dress and more fun related to that era.

Some aspects of the event naturally looked different to previous years because of the measures that the organisers, Swansea Council, had put in place measures to reflect the fact that Covid-19 is still with us and to help minimise the spread of the virus for all involved.

Changes included a lower number of entrants, fewer areas where runners were bunched together and a staggered start process.

 Robert Francis-Davies, cabinet member for investment, regeneration and tourism said: “The Admiral Swansea Bay 10k is a key part of Swansea’s event calendar so it was good to see it back.

“Thousands of people enjoyed the atmosphere and had a great few hours out. We’re doing all we can to keep them safe and we thank everybody who contributed in any way to making the event a success. And we can say right now we plan to have it back again next year on September 18, so running fans should get the date in their diaries.”

It was be the 15th occasion that Admiral has sponsored the event.

All race results will be available to view online.

Photo-fit.com are the official photographers of the 2021 Admiral Swansea Bay 10k. 2021 race photos are now available.

And here’s next year’s date for your diary – we’re delighted to announce that the 2022 Admiral Swansea Bay 10k will take place on 18 September 2022. We can’t wait to see you all there!
