Challenge yourself by signing up for the LifeStyle Porthkerry
Plod - 14/02/07
Runners of all abilities are being invited to take part in a
five-mile challenge at Barry's picturesque Porthlkerry Country
Park.
The second LifeStyle Porthkerry Plod, organised in association
with Penarth and Dinas Runners, takes place on Sunday, April
29.
It is hoped that the resounding success of last year's inaugural
event will ensure that even more runners will be on the starting
line at 10am.
The scenic course will take runners along open fields, roads,
woodland and coastal paths – offering extra incentive to leap out
of bed on a Sunday morning for a prompt start.
LifeStyle Health and Fitness has a range of memberships at the
Vale of Glamorgan Council's state of the art gyms in Barry,
Cowbridge, Llantwit Major and Penarth leisure centres, and staff
and customers will be among the entrants.
LifeStyle operations manager Jon Rogers urges everyone to
consider taking up the challenge. He said: “Our team can put
together a personal training programme for the Porthkerry Plod. The
first 200 people to pay and enter also receive a LifeStyle
T-shirt.”
Cabinet Member for Tourism and Leisure Cllr Gwyn John added:
“Health and fitness is important, regardless of age. The LifeStyle
Porthkerry Plod offers Vale residents a chance to prove that they
have the stamina and motivation to train and complete a race with
like-minded people.”
Entry is £6 for LifeStyle and affiliated members or £7 for
unaffiliated members. To enter, telephone Andrew, from Penarth
