Tenby 10K 2009, generously sponsored for a third year byCoastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire, takes place on Sunday July 26th at 11.00 am. Coastal Cottages are again offering prizes of a weekend break to the firt male runner and first female runner to complete the Tenby 10K 2009. Please see important details below.

The run is organised by the TROT running club, St Clears, with support on the day from Tenby Leisure Centre.

T-shirts and medals will be presented to all finishers. Trophies will also be presented in various age group categories.

Race numbers have increased steadily over the years, and chip timing will be used for the first time in 2009. Instructions will be provided to all entrants.

Due to the complexity of marshalling this race, we regret that children's races will not take place in 2009.

Unfortunately, over the years the numbers taking part in the junior races have dwindled, and extra marshalls and other helpers are now needed to support the main run.

To enter the 10K simply download a race form here. The postal address for entries is on the form. Be sure to include your race fee and an S.A.E., and apply in plenty of time.

*Fees are £10 in advance and £12 on the day for non-affiliated runners. Fees for runners registered with AAW or UKA are £8 in advance and £10 on the day.

Entries are available on the day, but will not be accepted after 10.30 a.m.

There will be no exceptions to this rule, as all details have to be entered into the chip timing system prior to the race and we regret the start cannot be delayed for late entrants. The Tenby area can be very busy in the summer, so if you plan to enter on the day, please do allow plenty of time to travel to the event, park and get changed, etc.

* We regret that there has been a small increase in the entry fees this year. The race organisers now provide t-shirts, medals, and chip timing for over 200 runners, as well meet costs for first aid, water, facilities and administration. The considerable cost of putting on the race is subsidised by sponsorship and the many volunteers on the day who give up their time for free to make the event possible.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

Open Female and Open Male
Veteran Female F35 (35-44) and F45 (45+)
Veteran Male M40 (40-49) and M50 (50+)

Male club team and Female club team

First Business team

In addition, Coastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire are offering weekend breaks to the first male winner and first female runner to complete the course. There is no age category for this special prize, which will be offered to the fastest male and female runners overall. The prize is non-transferable and there is no cash equivalent. Full terms and conditions are available from Coastal Cottages of Pembrokeshire.

The 10K is all on road around the beautiful coastal resort of Tenby. The route starts and finishes at Tenby Leisure Centre, looping around the edge of the town and passing through Penally village.
