Darker nights. Same freedom to run.

We’re proud to be supporting the 2026 Welsh Athletics ‘Own The Night’ campaign, bringing runners, clubs, communities and allies together to raise awareness of women’s safety while running and taking action towards safer spaces for everyone.

We believe darker nights shouldn’t change how women run. 72% of women change their activity behaviour during the Winter months and it doesn’t have to be this way.

Want to know what’s happening and how you can get involved? Read the full press release from Welsh Athletics here!👇

We like to celebrate our members’ successes here at The Play Yard Social Run Club and we think Amy deserves a special mention.

Amy completed the Swansea Bay 10K on Sunday in a brilliant time of 58 minutes! An awesome achievement in itself, but that only tells half the story.

Amy was one of the first people to walk through the door when we launched our run club in April this year. She started out in our 3KM walk/jog group, and as her confidence and fitness grew, she quickly progressed to the 5KM run group.

Since then, Amy has been one of our most consistent runners - coming twice a week most weeks, doing additional runs on weekends while also navigating the final stages of a University degree and raising two ‘very spirited’ children! 😀

Amy is a fantastic example of what can be achieved through remaining patient, consistent and committed, and as she prepares to take on Cardiff Half Marathon on October 4th, we just wanted to say how proud we are!

Another great run tonight with a 12-minute tempo section thrown in to add a sprinkle of extra spice for those who fancied it!

There were two important lessons to take away from tonight.

1. Fuel your training correctly. Running on an empty stomach can make you 🤮

2. Don’t go for a Carvery before training. Running with a belly full of roasted meat, veg and gravy can make you 🤮

It’s almost time for our second club run of the week. If you’ve not run this week, month, year or ever, then here’s why we think you should make Wednesday your first!

Here’s just a little summary of what The Play Yard Social Run Club offers…

▪️3 weekly opportunities to run with others
▪️A range of distance/pace options suitable for complete novices to experienced athletes
▪️A friendly and supportive community of social runners
▪️Qualified run leaders
▪️Group and individual training plans - from Couch 2 5K to Marathon training

And best of all, we believe running should remain free of charge because it is a fundamental human movement and a universal public health resource. So you can join us and gain access to all of that good stuff and more for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
