An enthusiastic group of young people learning about community development have been busy arranging a 5k fun run following the iconic Stwlan road up to the dam with a quick sprint back down for local environmental work.

It will be held at 10am this Saturday, 10 December.

Runners are asked to wear a festive costume or favourite Christmas jumper to join the fun.

Sign-ups will close tomorrow, Wednesday, 7 November.

“Sbrint Stiniog is open to everybody and encourages runners, walkers, and everyone in between to join the fun and take part,” a fun run spokesperson said.

“The event will be free to enter with the option of receiving a commemorative mug made at Ffiws Blaenau Ffestiniog for a small fee where proceeds will be donated to charity, or to make a donation to a local environmental charity.”
