Travel and Parking

Getting to and from the event

There are some important changes this year you need to be aware of:

  • Both races start at 9:00.
  • The 10K kicks off from Festival Fields (what3words: veal.sang.island)
  • The Half Marathon kicks off from the Tata Steel Trostre site (what3words: likely.vocab.shins)
  • Double-check your start location!

It’s important to plan your journey to beat the road closures, allow plenty of time to park, and get settled at the start area! Please remember to car share with friends or family, it helps reduce congestion and our impact on the environment.

If you are car sharing with someone who’s doing a different distance to you, half marathoners MUST be dropped off first and 10km runners MUST park or be dropped last at Festival Fields.

By Car: If you are travelling by car the main access route to Llanelli is via the M4 using Junction 48 or the A484 via Sandy Water Park.


By Train: If you’re arriving by train, Llanelli train station is on Great Western Cresent and is a 10-15 minute taxi ride to Festival Fields (SA15 4DP) and slightly less to Trostre.
