Beach race sees runners take on 32-mile circuit | This is South Wales

Beach race sees runners take on 32-mile circuit | This is South Wales: "PENDINE'S beach is to host a gruelling 32-mile running race early next month.

The community council and race organisers Ultra Running UK are to hold a 32-mile ultramarathon race on Sunday, April 8.

The race starts with a seven-mile run along Pendine Sands to Ginst Point, continuing along the coast to Broadway, then back through Tremoilet Farm to Pendine Sands, where the runners will complete the route all over again.

It is hoped the 32-mile race will attract international ultramarathon competitors to the village.

Ken Scivyer, race director at Ultra Running UK Ltd said: "This is the first year we have staged this event at Pendine so we are aiming for as much exposure as possible, and our plans are to turn this into a large annual race bringing many people to the area each year."

For less ambitious competitors, there will also be a half marathon, a one lap run of the route, as well as The Pendine 10k, a 10-kilometre beach race."
