Run and Become and Mizuno are joint sponsors this year of the Brackla Harriers Merthyr Mawr Christmas Pudding 10k - that means that we'll be providing the prizes for this famously festive & challenging race, and trading at the race on the day so you can combine christmas shopping with off-road running :)

Mizuno make an ideal shoe for anyone hoping to tackle this combination of steep sand dunes, slippery woodland trails, muddy fields and country lanes - the Wave Harrier. This shoe is light, superbly grippy and cushioned enough to tackle the short road sections comfortably.

To get 10% off the price of a new pair of trail shoes, just come to Run and Become in Cardiff and show your race number for the Merthyr Mawr Christmas Pudding 10k. Club runners who are card-carrying members of Welsh Athletics already enjoy a 10% discount at Run and Become so we are offering, in addition to this, a free pair of trail socks to club members who purchase trail shoes for the Merthyr Mawr race (again, just bring your race number to qualify). Both offers will be in effect up to, and including, the day of the race.
