REPORT 2012 ...

Well done and thank you to all who helped and took part in the third Llanelli Star – Great Welsh Marathon. There was a fantastic turnout, with people travelling from as far as Italy, Germany and France to take part in the race. Almost 500 entered the 26.2 mile challenge, which took place in the stunning beauty of Carmarthenshire’s Millennium Coastal Park. Human Being Active has provided yet another successful event that continues to grow in stature. This greatly helps promote the regions brilliant leisure & tourism attractions and also supports charities and many local organisations.

The weather was perfect for a marathon and the runners set off at pace. Leading from the start was the Llanelli Waterside Half Marathon 2012 winner Mark Roberts of Swansea Harriers. Mark continued to build on his lead over the distance and smashed the previous course record by almost ten minutes finishing in a time of 2hrs 31mins. In second place was Chris Brown from Barrow Runners recording a time of 2hrs 57mins 15secs while Paul Dawes from San Domenico Road Running Club finished third in 2hrs 59mins 12secs.

First woman home was two time winner of the event ... Val Swingler of Shropshire Shufflers in a time of 2hrs 59mins 22secs followed by Gabby Rodgers in 3hrs 15mins 4secs and Catherine Marks 3hrs 20mins 20secs.

The event was made special by the Human story; the many taking part in their first marathon, some running the distance for the 100th time. Those who took on the challenge to overcome personal trauma and all who helped raise thousands of pounds for worthy causes.

As ever looking after the interests of the Human Being Active events and especially its participants, are a small army of volunteers from the community. Also support from authorities and local businesses make the events possible. HBA would like to thank the Llanelli Star, Carmarthenshire County Council, the Coastal Park Management and Rangers, the Welsh Assembly Government, Welsh Athletics, St John Ambulance, RAYNET, Dyfed Powys Police, Llangennech Scouts, Llanelli Ramblers, 3M’s Road Runners, Sanshirokwai Dojo, College Sir Gar, Alleviate Physiotherapy, Dave Tucker, and family and friends.

Other Human Being Active events later this year will include the Fusion Summer 5k Series and Children’s Fun Runs, the Great Welsh Walkathon, HBA-5-10-20 and the Llanelli Santa Dash. In 2013 the Llanelli Waterside Half Marathon will be moving to the Scarlets Stadium and will include healthy active events for the whole family to enjoy.
