Welcome to the online home of the annual Porthcawl Boxing Day Run.

Started by the Hi Tide Nutters in 1981, and subsequently run by the Porthcawl Lions, the run has increased in popularity and is now a much anticipated event and a runners’ favourite.

The run is now organised by Porthcawl Runners and falls under Welsh Athletics’ licensing guidelines. All profits go to the Porthcawl Lions Club (registered charity 1175303) to be distributed to other registered charities and local charitable organisations.
