THE 10K COURSE  A fantastic course with the first kilometer running through the main high street and forks right along Lon Pentre Bach to the Deucoch, then heads left down to the Sarn Bach crossroads. Heading straight over there’s a section of narrow lanes stretching towards the far end of the beach with a short section of road running round the bay before reaching ‘Tocyn Brutal‘ a challenging hill that is a rough track lasting for 0.3 of a mile (picking the right line up here will make it so much easier for you!). Some undulating roads for 2 miles, looping back round till you head down onto the golf course before joining the far end of the beach. An exhilarating kilometer along the beach (including some groynes) to the finish just before the middle slip ramp.
