A free park and ride service will operate again this year for people travelling to Mountain Ash for the Nos Galan Races on New Year’s Eve. A 40-seater shuttle bus will run every 10-15 minutes from Mountain Ash Comprehensive school to the Town Hall from 3.30pm until 9pm.
Anyone travelling to the event is urged to use this free service at the school site, due to restricted parking in the town centre.
Andrew Morgan of the Nos Galan committee, who organise the event, said: “The Races attracted almost 10,000 people to the town centre last year and we are expecting similar numbers this year. So we would ask people travelling from outside the town to please use the free shuttle service.”
Mountain Ash Comprehensive School is about one mile north of Mountain Ash in New Road on the A4059. Please follow the AA signs on the A4059 to the parking area. Please note that the parking area will be staffed by security staff and Nos Galan stewards.
The annual 5km races have competitions for elite runners and also for adults, boys and girls. Runners who want to take part in the races are being advised that postal entries are closed from this week. If you wish to take part, please register online at www.nosgalan.co.uk
