Sign up to raise money for Maggie’s Swansea at The Long Course Weekend

Anyone thinking of taking part in The Long Course Weekend this June can raise money for Maggie’s Swansea, our official charity partner for the 2023-24 season.

The Long Course Weekend is the biggest multi-sport festival in Europe. The Welsh three-day event takes place between June 21 and 23 on the west coast of Wales in Pembrokeshire, and attracts more than 11,000 athletes and 35,000 supporters from across 56 nations.

Friday sees competitors take on the Wales Swim, one of the largest open-water swimming events in the UK, while Saturday gives cyclists a chance to take on a choice of 112-mile, 72-mile or 40-mile courses set in the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The weekend finishes on Sunday with the Wales Marathon, The Wales Half-Marathon, The Wales 10k and The Wales 5k, all with a finish line in Tenby.

Athletes can take on one event, or test their endurance with an event a day. Anyone who has signed up, or is yet to sign up, can raise money for Maggie’s Swansea.

You can sign up by emailing swanseafundraising@maggies.org and you will receive a free Maggie's running vest, cycling jersey or swimming cap, as well as 50 per cent off the entry fee.
