The Nos Galan Races commemorate the Welsh runner Guto Nyth Bran

The Nos Galan Races commemorate the Welsh runner Guto Nyth Bran and his legendary athletic prowess. Held annually on New Yearis Eve in Mountain Ash, in the Cynon Valley, South Wales, the Races follow a 5km route around the town.
Each year a famous sports personality - whose identity is kept secret until the night - takes part in the races.
Stories of Guto Nyth Bran include how he could catch a bird in flight, and how he once ran to Pontypridd and back - about seven miles - before the kettle boiled. Throughout his life, he contested many races and took on many challenges, but because of his continued successes, his challengers became fewer and fewer.
When he was 37, a challenge came from the ePrincei of Bedwas to run the 12 miles from Newport in Monmouthshire to Bedwas Church Caerphilly. Guto easily won the race, but the celebratory eslapsi on the back proved too much for him and he died in the arms of his sweetheart, Sian oir Siop.
His body was taken to its final resting-place in the graveyard of Llanwynno Church near Mountain Ash.
Nos Galan Race - Mens start in the main 5k race. 30th December 1997
