The Pembrokeshire Half Marathon and 10k runs, on Sunday, September 27, are filling up fast according to organisers Pembrokeshire Triathlon Club.

Sponsored by South Hook LNG, both events take in some fantastic coastal and rural views.

Based in Dale, the half marathon will be a special one as it will be the 10th anniversary race, and the organisers are increasing the prize pool to mark the occasion.

Both events are aimed at anyone, from fun runners to those aiming for a fast time. The triathlon club are again using the race to raise funds for Adam's Bucketful of Hope Appeal in memory of one of their former members, Adam Evans-Thomas.

The first male and female finishers of the half-marathon will receive the Adam Evans-Thomas perpetual trophy. All participants will receive a limited edition 'technical' event t-shirt and goody bag.

There are regular water stations on the course, as well as changing facilities before and after the race, and food available in the café and pub.

The courses are marked with distance markers, directional arrows, and every junction is marshalled by volunteers.

As in 2008, the finish area will see a temporary road closure that will enhance the experience for the runners and spectators.

The closing date for entries is August 31, or sooner if the event limit is reached. There will not be any entries after this date or on the day, due to demand for places.

Race director, David Astins, commented: "Last year, we hit surpassed our target of 250 entries, finally accepting 278, and with the support of the local community, police and county council, we have been able to raise the limit to 300.

"As the event has grown in popularity year on year, with runners from across the UK as well as Pembrokeshire and other parts of Wales, we are confident all 300 places will go well before August 31."

Entries can be made on-line, or by downloading an entry form, both available on the club's website (http://www.pembrokeshire-tri.org.uk/events.htm">www.pembrokeshire-tri.org.uk/events.htm).

The website also contains the entry list and will be updated weekly, and all race information, including a race pack, route maps and a sponsor form.
