Road Closures – 2026 Event Information

To facilitate the safe delivery of the event, temporary road closures will be in place under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Closures will take place on:

• Saturday 16 May 2026

Roads along the route—including Friars Road, Paget Road, Ffordd y Mileniwm, Broad Street (A4055), Park Avenue, Romilly Park Road, and the Barry Island promenade—will be closed to all vehicular traffic (including pedal cycles). Access will be maintained for emergency services.

Closures will begin at various times depending on location, with some roads closing from 12:01am and others from 9:00am.

From approximately 10:45am, roads will begin to reopen in sequence as the final participants pass.

All roads (except Friars Road and Paget Road) are expected to reopen by 2:00pm, with full reopening later in the day.

Please note that the opening and closure timings on the map are approximate. The times stated reflect when we hope to re-open once the last runners have passed and temporary infrastructure has been collected. The timings may be later if there are any unforeseen delays, but we will aim to re-open as quickly as possible. Advance warning signage placed around the town reflects the latest possible times the roads will re-open.
