AROUND 120 runners took part in a charity Boxing Day run in Cwmbran.

It was organised by Griffithstown Harriers running club to raise money for Kidney Wales.

Runners started on the river path outside the Olive Tree Club in Croesyceiliog.

They had the choice of doing one or two laps of the 2.5-mile course that took them through Llanyrafon and Croesyceiliog.
