Coity Military Castle Challenge

1Km & 5Km

Saturday May 11th 2019

Our Military Castle Challenge is aimed to be a fun morning for all the family. It  will be brought to you in association with Coity Festivals  and the Army Cadet Force. 100% of all profits raised from activities within the castle will be given to the Velindre Cancer charity as Chosen by Mr David Thomas and Richard Thomas and will be donated by the Coity Festivals Group.  Forces Fitness Ltd will ensure 20% of all profits from our race will be put back into our local community.  This money will be used on projects that will improve the Health and Well- Being of our local Community and managed by a team of local Individuals / residents ! Its simple. Come along and have some fun while raising money for a great cause.

We have the fantastic group Coity Festivals co-ordinating our activities inside the castle. We will have activities such as - Air Soft (Hard Target Airsoft), Military Stand with weapons demonstrations, Sports Massage (Vale Muscle Therapy) fun games for the kids, Hot drinks and food stands and a bar.  Access to the castle will be a donation of your choice to our chosen charity that can be thrown in our donation bucket at the entrance.

The Haywain, Brackla have kindly offered to sponsor the Race and Tug of War teams for the upcoming event in Coity Castle.

We are extremely thankful to The Haywain for their support of this great community event that has been put together to raise money for Velindre Cancer Centre and also to raise funds to provide services / Equipment to improve our local community's health and well being.
