Dan’s Duathlon this Saturday
In memory of the popular and much loved firefighter Dan Jones, the third annual Dan’s Duathlon will take place this Saturday 20th May, starting at Kenfig Hill Fire Station where Dan first served when he joined South Wales Fire and Rescue, and finishing at Dan’s beloved Kenfig Hill RFC where he played rugby with his brothers and friends.
Beginning at 11.00am at the fire station, you can show your support to the family members, friends and teammates of Dan who will be cycling 25km to Margam mountains and then will be running 10km on the return to Kenfig Hill RFC.
As part of the fundraising efforts fun activities for all the family will take place at the Mules with fire engines, bouncy castles, inflatables and ice cream and hot food available. Live music on the club balcony, with the band Thrillionaires, starts at 5.30pm.
All funds raised by Dan’s Duathlon will be donated to the Fire Fighters Charity. Everyone is welcome to support the duathlon and activities at the club or you can donate now by visiting https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/dansduathlon2023
