Unusually warm conditions proved challenging for athletes assembled for the flat and fast Brecon Carreg Cardiff Bay 10K, meaning no course records were broken, but more than 5,000 registered runners enjoyed a run in the sun. The event was the second fixture of the Run 4 Wales 10K Series, seeing a re-match from the top three athletes in last month’s ABP Newport 10K in the men’s race.
