Ras yr Iaith Third Edition; Welsh-language race nears return



Ras yr Iaith is back again this year bigger than ever with over 15 communities from across Wales taking part.

The 2018 Ras yr Iaith will take place between 4 and 6 July with the first day of the race finishing in Aberystwyth with a feast of music for everyone.

Businesses, schools, community groups and clubs can each sponsor a leg for £50, all in aid of supporting the use of Welsh.

This is not an athletic race but a relay race where the language baton is passed from kilometre to kilometre and town to town.

The race vehicle will chaperone the baton between the towns and villages from one end of Wales to the other.

One or several people can run the stretch of the race that your organisation sponsors for £50. All proceeds will be pumped back into our communities in the form of grants to support the use of Welsh.

If you would like to run/participate on behalf of your organisation, contact Cered (Menter Iaith Ceredigion/Ceredigion Language Initiative) at cered@ceredigion.gov.uk to register.
