RNLI Porthdinllaen Family Fun Run

The event is open to everyone, runners and walkers, toddlers and dog walkers alike, with a 5km and 2km option available. Both routes start at the Lifeboat shop next to Nefyn Golf Club, and finish at the same place, outside the Ty Coch pub, on Porthdinllaen beach.

As this is a fun run not a race, all entrants will be winners and each participant will receive a medal on completion of either route on the day of the event. Fancy dress is optional and the best costume will receive a prize as the best fancy dress. With the route being run over the beach and trails, participants are advised to wear suitable walking / running attire. Sponsorship is also optional but would benefit the RNLI greatly, with sponsorship forms available for the event, details below.

Water stations will be placed at various points along the route and the finish line, with the Nefyn Golf Club, and National Trust providing a discounted parking for £4 for each vehicle in their nearby car parks.
