Parc Bryn Bach – 27th April 2025

What a day! Glorious sunshine set the stage for another successful Hospice Six Mile Race and Junior One Mile Run at Parc Bryn Bach. This year was particularly meaningful as we dedicated the event to the memory of Damian Williams, a true gentleman and key supporter of the race, widely respected in the running community. Participants wore green ribbons in his honour, and the awards were named after him.

We were thrilled to welcome 256 participants—both in person and virtually—from near and far, including our friend Roman in San Francisco! Your support means everything.

Our future stars lit up the course with incredible energy as they took on the 1-mile loop around the lake.

Some lightning-fast times and big smiles—we can’t wait to see what the future holds for these young athletes!

A picturesque but challenging 6-mile route around the lake and golf course tested our senior runners.
