BCRL Rest Bay Beach Race 2025

346 runners from 6 different running clubs took part in the 2nd race in this year’s Bridgend County Running League series. The race, held on Wednesday 21st May, was hosted by Porthcawl Runners and took place on Rest Bay Beach.

It had been raining earlier in the day, but the sunshine returned in time for the start, even though the wind didn’t let up!

Porthcawl Runners took 5 of the 6 podium places – 1st male was Harry Jenkins and 2nd male Geraint Williams, with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd female positions going to Gabriella Booth, Hannah Jenkins, and Tracy Jenkins respectively.

A large number of runners and supporters headed back to Porthcawl Rugby Club for some well-deserved chips and drinks.

Many thanks to the Rest Bay Lifeguard Club for their help in setting up and clearing the course, and acting as lead bike with their buggy!
