It may be bitterly cold outside but it's time to reach for your trainers as the popular Parc Margam 10k prepares to return next month. The event, which aims to raise thousands of pounds for charity, launched last March and was so popular, organisers have arranged for it to take place again this year.
Participants can choose between a 5k or 10k run, both of which take them through the beautiful surroundings of Margam Country Park. Runners will pass by three of the park's gorgeous lakes before meandering through pretty woodland trails and past pleasant fields full of deer.
Entrants will also help raise funds and awareness for two charities: the National Autistic Society Cymru and Neath Port Talbot Strike Group, organisations which were chosen for fundraising this year by the Mayor of Neath Port Talbot's Charity Fund.
