The Swansea University Swansea Half Marathon returns on Sunday 8th June, and it’s official — the event has completely sold out! Thousands of runners will descend on the city to take on the fast, flat, and scenic course, but for those who missed out on a spot, there’s still time to be part of this incredible race day atmosphere.

Places are still available through official charity partners, offering runners the chance to take part while making a real difference in the lives of others.

Run for Charity, Make Every Mile Count!

This year’s headline charity is Shelter Cymru, who work hard to tackle homelessness and defend the right to a safe and secure home. Participants can also choose to run for Maggie’s Cancer Care, who offer invaluable support for those living with cancer, or Morgan’s Army, dedicated to support children and their families affected by cancer in Wales.

Whether you’re passionate about ending homelessness, supporting families battling cancer, or simply want to make your run more meaningful, running for charity gives you the chance to be part of something bigger.

“Charity runners are the heart of our event,” says Tash Smith, Managing Director at Front Runner Events. “By running for one of our partner charities, participants not only experience the electric race day atmosphere, but also help raise vital funds that have a lasting impact across Wales.”

Virtual Option Still Open!

Can’t make it to Swansea on race day? You can still join the movement from wherever you are! The Virtual Event is open for entries — giving runners the freedom to take on the distance at their own pace, on their own route, while still being challenged and earning their medal.
