THE Hospice of the Valleys welcomed almost 300 senior runners for its annual Six Mile Race and 42 junior runners take part in the inaugural Junior Run.
The event is a key fundraiser for the hospice which provides palliative care and support to patients and their families living with a life-limiting illness.

“We are so fortunate and grateful to have the support of Parc Bryn Bach Running Club who continue to work with us and develop the event year on year to give a high quality competition.
