Mermaid Race 2012 Results

For the second year running the sea conditions were too rough to go around Cardigan Island so a shortened course of around 7 miles was run. On the bright side the weather forecast was awful but it stayed dry for the race, the sun even came out later in the afternoon for the food, drinks & entertainment :)

Mermaid Race 2012 Winners - Mumbles men

Despite only seven teams entering it was a good race especially for the Mumbles Men’s team who started one position from last and overtook everyone in front of them to claim first place. Well done all teams who entered and hopefully we can get a few more teams next year.
