A number of road closures will be in place on Sunday (September 18) to accommodate the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

About 4,000 runners are expected to take part in the main race, which leaves from outside St Helen’s at 1pm and goes to Mumbles and back. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Swansea Council is behind the event. A number of other races will also take place on the day, including 1k, 3k and 5k races for juniors, a wheelchair race and the traditional 100-metre dash for mascots. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

All places for each race are now taken, so people won’t be able to sign-up to take part on the day. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The road closures listed below will be in place from about midday to approximately 2pm. Re-opening times are approximate because they depend on the speed of the runners. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Diversion routes have been made available where possible and information has been issued to all houses affected
by the closures. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
