Last chance to sign up for Nos Galan Race

December 29, 2008

Runners wishing to take part in this year’s Nos Galan Races are being urged to sign up online within the next few days – as record numbers of people have now registered to take part.

Almost 1,000 people of all ages have signed up to run in the famous races in Mountain Ash near Aberdare on New Year’s Eve.

Anyone wanting to join the races should now only register online using the online option which is available until midnight on Sunday, December 28 on the www.nosgalan.co.uk website.

Cllr Andrew Morgan of the Nos Galan committee said: “We have had huge interest in the races this year, so anyone intending to run should get their details to us straight away.

“Late entry will be operating from 3pm on December 31 in the race centre headquarters which will be based at the Mountain Ash Day Centre. However, based on the record number of entries, it is now likely that some categories will be closed to new entrants.”

If you have already entered by post but have not received your race pack, please go to the registration desk at Mountain Ash Day Centre, Oxford Street, from 3pm on December 31. If you have any queries before the event, please call Rhondda Cynon Taf Events team on 01443 490200

A park and ride service will run from Mountain Ash Comprehensive School on the night. Vehicles can be parked there and a mini bus shuttle service will take people into Mountain Ash town centre from 3pm until 9pm.

The car parking area will be staffed by both Nos Galan stewards and Police. Anyone travelling to Mountain Ash for the event is urged to use this free service at the school site.
