The Route
The JCP Swansea Half Marathon starts in front of the iconic Brangwyn Hall, before heading through the city centre onto Oystermouth Road.
Why there are big patches of dead grass on Swansea seafront
From the closed roads you’ll spot the floodlights of St Helen’s Rugby ground.
You will then enjoy the stunning views of Swansea Bay as you head towards the village of Mumbles and its iconic pier and lighthouse.
You will turn and head back towards Swansea via the flat, purpose-built cycle/walkway alongside miles of sandy beaches.
The return leg of the race heads towards the Meridian Tower.
Wales’ tallest building provides a perfect opportunity for a PB with a flat promenade guiding you towards Swansea Marina where you will run over the lock bridge into the SA1 area before you cross the Millennium Bridge spanning the River Tawe and head back towards the finish near to Museum Green.
