The latest data from Sport Wales' "School Sports Survey" highlights a significant decrease in physical activity levels among children and young people in Carmarthenshire, which is cause for concern. The data also reveals disparities in participation based on factors such as affluence, gender, and disability. Despite our impressive programs, knowledgeable staff, and attractive resources, none of our organizations can address these issues alone. However, by working together, we can maximize our impact and make a difference to the right people in the right places in our county. Through the establishment of the Carmarthenshire Sports Network, we aim to improve communication, share best practices, enhance collaboration, and align resources to increase participation and improve the quality of services for the health and well-being of children and young people in Carmarthenshire. We look forward to your attendance at the first Carmarthenshire Sports Network meeting on December 18th at the Carmarthen Leisure Centre. Admission is free.

The Soul Breaker 10 Trail Run is a highly popular and thrilling event that takes place in Carmarthen. This trail run offers both a 10km and 10-mile race, giving participants the opportunity to explore the picturesque old drovers trails of Drefach Felindre and the surrounding villages. Designed for those who love the excitement of off-road running, the Soul Breaker 10 has become a favorite among local trail runners. The routes are well-marked with approximately 200 arrows guiding runners throughout the course. Starting at Aspirations Outdoor Adventures, which is elevated at an impressive 1000 feet above sea level, the routes lead runners through farm fields before descending to the top of Cwmpengraig at just over 200 feet. From there, participants face a short climb up to Penboyr church at 550 feet, marking the first checkpoint. For the 10km race, this serves as the halfway point before turning back and facing the challenging ascent back to the start line, totaling 900 feet of ascent. Meanwhile, the 10-mile route takes runners on a more exhilarating journey. After the first checkpoint, participants join the 10km runners briefly before veering off to experience the excitement of the trails in three additional villages. With climbs not exceeding 400 feet, these seemingly small ascents accumulate to almost 1000 feet of additional ascent on top of the 10km route, providing a relentless challenge for the legs and lungs. At approximately 6 miles into the race, runners will find their second and final checkpoint, offering a brief respite before tackling the remaining challenges that bring them back onto the 10km route. In total, participants will have gained an impressive 1800+ feet of ascent. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants, the event organizers require runners to wear appropriate trail shoes with adequate grip for steep and muddy terrain, as well as fields and stoney tracks. Every participant will receive a unique medal and will be treated to a delicious selection of soup and cakes as a reward for their efforts. Additionally, the top male and female finishers in both distances will receive a special prize, with the opportunity for free entry into next year's race if any records are broken. In an effort to reduce plastic waste, the event will have self-service checkpoints, urging participants to bring their own water containers and ensuring all snacks are unwrapped and vegan or vegetarian friendly. Littering is strictly prohibited, with offenders facing disqualification. Don't miss out on this incredible trail running experience!
