However, by working together, we can maximize our impact and make a difference to the right people in the right places in our county. Through the establishment of the Carmarthenshire Sports Network, we aim to improve communication, share best practices, enhance collaboration, and align resources to increase participation and improve the quality of services for the health and well-being of children and young people in Carmarthenshire.

Designed for those who love the excitement of off-road running, the Soul Breaker 10 has become a favorite among local trail runners. The routes are well-marked with approximately 200 arrows guiding runners throughout the course. Starting at Aspirations Outdoor Adventures, which is elevated at an impressive 1000 feet above sea level, the routes lead runners through farm fields before descending to the top of Cwmpengraig at just over 200 feet. From there, participants face a short climb up to Penboyr church at 550 feet, marking the first checkpoint.
