*Martin Green (*above in white vest) leads the pack at a previous Pier to Pier race.

MESSAGE FROM ORGANISER OF PIER TO PIER 10K RACE - EVENT POSTPONED TILL NEXT JANUARY 2023.

It is with regret we will have to postpone this year’s race. We have tried numerous different weekends and simply just cannot co-ordinate First Aid and transport with so many events back in the calendar following the lifting of Covid -19 restrictions. This time of year is worsened with the promenade being so busy at Llandudno, Rhos and Colwyn Bay it has been made even more difficult as we approach the summer period.
For those that have entered we will postpone the race to January 2023 and entries will automatically be deferred. The date will either be the 14th  or 21st  January 2023 and will confirm as soon as the tide information has been revealed.
If you wish to receive a full refund please click here before April  30th 2022, after this we will transfer any entries to the 2023 event.
Thank you for your patience over the past few weeks as we endeavoured to find a suitable date and look forward to seeing you all again in 2023
Russel Godwin.
Colwyn Bay Athletics Club
