We are so incredibly proud of our very own Anne Wilkins who appeared as an unexpected guest on the Michael McIntyre’s Big Show last night.

Anne has been coming to VI Walk to Run Penybont since we started and we've loved watching her grow in confidence, we are so happy that she got the opportunity to fulfil her dream.

Da iawn Anne

Today we celebrated our last session of the year! As the weather was so cold we had an indoor Chrismas party with snacks, Christmas tunes and most importantly a lot of chat and laughter.

Thank you to everyone who has come to one of our sessions this year whether as a VI participant or as a guide, we've loved meeting you all. Our sessions will start back the mid to end of January depending on the weather, if you are interested in joining us either message the page or email justrunpenybont@gmail.com

Today there was a guide running takeover at Rogiet parkrun. Well done to all involved in arranging and taking part.

It was a lovely morning with a chance to network with others. Fabulous to see Leighton and Ryan taking part. Hopefully more to come in the future.

Just because our track sessions have paused for the summer holidays doesn't mean the fun has stopped!

Tonight guide Juliet and Anne met up for a lovely walk along the front in Porthcawl. The sun was lush and there were even dolphins in the bay, perfect 😊
