This special county-wide event brings together the three Powys 5K Your Way groups from Brecon, Builth Wells and Newtown.

What is 5K Your Way?

5K Your Way is a community initiative from the MOVE Against Cancer charity. Groups meet on the last Saturday of each month at certain parkruns, offering a supportive place for people:

living with or beyond cancer
supporting a loved one
or simply wanting to help and get active

You can take part at your own pace – try 1k, 2k or 5k, or come along to cheer, chat or volunteer.

On the Day We’ll have: Badges, cakes and Information and support for anyone affected by cancer

Powys 5K Your Way ambassadors – including two Powys Teaching Health Board staff members, Jane Spivey and Sue Ling – will be there to welcome you.
