Staying Safe

The pre-event video briefing contains important, on-the-day information. Please ensure you watch this prior to the event.  

Should poor weather conditions dictate, please ensure you have appropriate bright clothing.

Due to safety reasons, personal music players and headphones are NOT permitted.

If you are unable to finish the race, you MUST report to an official to inform them. 

Marshals

Please be advised all marshals are volunteering their time for free and without their assistance we would not be able to put the race on. Please respect marshals. Any abusive behaviour or language will result in immediate disqualification.

It is your responsibility to know the route and to ensure your own safety on course. Marshals are there purely for reference and directional purposes and are not permitted to stop traffic.

The fast and flat Swansea 5K starts whilst the Swansea Triathlon is in progress. You'll pass the triathletes on your out and back loop before celebrating your victory on the red carpet finish line in front of the National Waterfront Museum.

• The 5K run route is an out and back course along the Swansea waterfront. The course is comprehensively marshalled and signed with a black arrow and a fluorescent background.
• Keep left at all times unless overtaking another athlete. There are sections of the course that are two way, so please respect other path users.
• Please take care when going up and down a small section of steps. The course will head out to a turn point along the promenade in the direction of Mumbles.
