Set against the picturesque backdrop of Barry Island's coastline, the Barry Island 10K is a summertime festival of running that attracts participants of all ages and abilities. The 10-kilometer course showcases the area's most scenic spots, including Whitmore Bay, Romilly Park, the Knap, and Watch House Bay.
