Celtic Christmas Trail Races

It's time to do a last christmas run before going and eating and drinking too much over Christmas and New Year, so time to make a pre-emptive strike on the christmas binge!

We are going to do the lovely Celtic Trail Races over in the bit between Swansea and the Brecon Beacons, ending at Aberdare in "the valleys".

Fancy Dress is mandatory, (Christmas theme recommended!)

This race is a bit remote so make sure you can get to the finish, and then book the coach to the start (or try and workout some lift sharing logistics)

The medal looks cool too!
