Pontypridd Roadents serves the South Wales valleys – traditional mining areas that have become deprived following industrial decline.
The club provides running for all levels, with a particular focus on safety for women runners following recent high-profile attacks on women training outdoors.
The club runs beginner-friendly "couch to 5km" and "5km to 10km" courses in safe, well-lit areas, and trains Welsh Athletics-qualified coaches to support runners of all abilities.
"Our local area is lacking a running club with a safe, well-lit running track and adequate facilities," Nick Pounder, the club treasurer explained. "In light of recent attacks on women, our members asked for more secure areas for training. We hope to grow membership by 50-100 members in the next year, particularly attracting female participants and those beginning their running journey."
The funding will support track hire and coaching qualifications.
