Cllr Robert Francis-Davies, Swansea Council’s Cabinet Member for Enterprise, Development and Regeneration, said: “We’re pleased to have Admiral on board for another three years and to announce the date of next year’s Admiral Swansea Bay 10k, with early bird entry fees being frozen at last year’s prices until January 15.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“Supporting events in the communities in which we’re based is very important to Admiral, and to have the opportunity to be involved in an event which grows each year is something we’re proud of. We have sponsored the 10k for the last ten years, and this year over 150 Admiral staff entered the race, which really highlights its popularity within the company. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
