Record number of runners take part in 2025 Caerphilly 10K
A record number of runners took part in the 2025 Bryn Meadows Caerphilly 10K and 2K.
The event on Sunday, May 11, saw around 3,000 participants take to the streets of Caerphilly town centre.
This year, both the 10K and 2K races sold out for the first time in the event's history.
Around 2,000 runners took on the 10K route through the town centre past landmarks like the Tommy Cooper statue, giant cheese sculpture, and Caerphilly Castle.
The 10K event was won be Jonathan Butler of Swansea Harriers with a time of 30 minutes and 38 seconds, while Olivia Tsim of Pontypridd Roadents was the fastest female, finishing in 34 minutes and 56 seconds.
Dylan Powell claimed victory in the 2K event with a time of 6 minutes and 11 seconds.
Councillor Sean Morgan, leader of Caerphilly County Borough Council, said: "It's been a fantastic day, it was an absolute party all around the course.
"So good to see both runners and spectators enjoying this great event.
"Seeing both events sell out for the first time is a credit to the Sport and Leisure Team and brings us even closer to a cost neutral event.
"With ever constrained budgets, it is essential this council thinks outside the box to deliver and be sustainable for the future."
Councillor Chris Morgan, cabinet member for leisure, added: "The Bryn Meadows Caerphilly 10K and 2K are brilliant events for the community.
"It's a proud moment to see so many people getting involved, whether they were running, volunteering or cheering from the sidelines."
The event is organised by Caerphilly County Borough Council and supported by headline sponsor Bryn Meadows Golf, Hotel & Spa, car partner Griffin Mill, and wider partners Welsh Athletics and Llamau.
The next Bryn Meadows Caerphilly 10K and 2K will take place on Sunday, May 10, 2026.
