12th August 2012
Carmarthen Town may be one of the oldest, most mythical towns in Wales and in 2012 it will stage a brand new Half Marathon which will take the runners around one of the most scenic landscapes in the Country. The Merlin Festival Half Marathon will take place on the same weekend as the Merlin Festival which has grown in popularity over the last few years and attracts thousands to Carmarthen.
The course will take runners past all the major landmarks of Carmarthen. With the race starting in the new St Catherine’s Walk Shopping Centre and finishing down one of the oldest streets in Carmarthen in King’s Street, the runners will also pass the Picton Monument, Carmarthen Park’s Velodrome, Nott Square, Guildhall Square, Carmarthen Castle and the location of the old Merlin tree.
There will also be a Mini Merlin’s Fun Run for juniors under 16′s – the junior runners will be encouraged to dress up as magicians and the event will be a great day out for all the family.
