The economic landscape for running events is 'difficult', one race organiser says.
Matt Newman, Run 4 Wales' chief executive, said the economic landscape for mass participation events was "difficult", particularly because "people have less money in their pockets".Fay Bowen, from Newport, is running her first 10km race in her home city on Sunday.
"It's certainly been a bit of a barrier for me in terms of doing races which are further away from home. I factored in the cost of an overnight stay and the travel." Despite Mr Smith's determination to raise as much money as possible, he said the cost of registering for the races was starting to concern him.
Chief executive of Welsh Athletics, James Williams, said more people are running in Wales than ever before - but warned those numbers were not translating into more people entering races.
