PFM Social 5k Fastpack

Starting and finishing at the Watermill pub in Ogmore by Sea this will be a socially paced 5k with an opportunity to socialise in the Watermill post run.

Pacing will depend on the group but the intention is to walk the ups, gently jog the downs and a combination of run walk on any flat or technical areas (it's not a technical route).

In summary the route starts with a very short section on tarmac before heading up hill for a while on a moderate incline that is rocky in parts before transitioning to a loop along rolling fields with good underfoot conditions and returning back down the hill we started on.

As it is on trail, conditions can change dependant on weather so it may be muddy or slippery in parts if wet.  There could be livestock along the route (only sheep when checked) and the trail also briefly skirts the edge of a golf course so care and consideration should be given on this section.

There is a road crossing at the start/finish.  Proceed with caution. We are not in a rush.

Some Info

Road trainers should suffice if the weather has been mild, light trail trainers ideal.

As it is trail there will be trip hazards and there may be livestock.

Dress according to weather, it is always wise to have an additional layer.

Parking is available at the Watermill carpark, the pub will be opening at 12.

If you are planning to stay for a drink or a bite to eat after I would suggest having warm layers in case sitting outside and a change of socks/trainers in case we get muddy/wet.

Participation in this free social run requires agreement to our participant waiver, which covers inherent risks and responsibilities.  This will be provided before the event.
