The Swansea Half Marathon returns to the city on Sunday, June 12 with an estimated 5,000 athletes running across the coastal route all in the hope of achieving a personal best on the 13.1 mile run.
Starting for the first time ever from Swansea Arena, the wheelchair race will begin at 8.55am before the main field of runners, who will take to the streets at 9am.
The route will explore some of the stunning views of Swansea Bay and iconic locations including the Waterfront Museum, and Knab Rock and lighthouse before runners return to the road at Brynmill Lane and back to Swansea Arena.

David Martin-Jewell, Managing Director said: “We are thrilled to be staging the 2022 edition of the JCP Swansea Half Marathon at the city’s newest cultural venue. We are excited to be welcoming an incredible elite field and hundreds of participants who have taken up running to keep fit during the last couple of years. It’s fantastic to be able to help a new generation of runners, some of whom will be challenging themselves at our event for the very first time.
