Nos Galan Event Sponsors
Watch this space for news of our 2023 Nos Galan event sponsors - whose support means we can keep bringing this incredible event to Mountain Ash.
It is thanks to generous local firms, including those who continued to support the event when Coronavirus meant it had to be held virtually for two years, that Nos Galan is such a success year on year.
Their support allows us to welcome thousands of people to Mountain Ash on New Year’s Eve to enjoy an unforgettable evening of elite, fun run and children’s races – plus a celebrity mystery runner, fireworks, family fun and more.
Of course, the main man in all the celebrations is Guto Nyth Bran, the legend who was once believed to be the fastest man on earth and could catch a hare with his bare hands. Nos Galan is held in honour of Guto , who is buried in the grounds of St Gwynno’s Church in the Llanwonno Forestry.
or 2022, four companies have sponsored the Nos Galan Road Races and their logos will feature on many of the race accessories, such as the commemorative programme.
They are:
- Prichard’s
- Amgen
- Trivallis
Llantrisant-based Prichard’s was launched in 1995 as a plant hire company and has since evolved into one of the biggest construction and demolition support services in the UK. The company has never forgotten it’s origins and has sponsored Nos Galan year on year as a display of support and appreciation for its communities.
Amgen Cymru is a key partner in Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s fight against waste and drive towards sustainability. As well as providing waste management and recycling service support, it also runs the massive Bryn Pica site near Aberdare, where waste is sorted and every item that can be recycled – or reused – is sorted. The centre also plays an important part in inspiring the next generation of “green” residents, with an education centre for school or group bookings.
Pontypridd-based Trivallis is one of the largest social landlords in Wales and provides homes for tens of thousands of people across Rhondda Cynon Taf. Trivallis has won a range of awards and wide acclaim for its work to not only provide safe, modern and efficient homes, but to rebuild and reinvigorate communities.
