Swansea City AFC Foundation launch 'Trundle 10k' challenge
Swansea City AFC Foundation is launching the ‘Trundle 10k’ virtual medal challenge, with proceeds raised supporting the Foundation and Street Child United.
Beginning on Monday March 17, the ‘Trundle 10k’ challenges participants to run, walk, or cycle 10 kilometres to earn a limited-edition medal.
This can be completed over the course of a day or by the challenge’s closing date of Sunday April 27.
To join the challenge, donate £20 via the link below and register for the 'Trundle 10k'.
Participants are also encouraged to fundraise for the event, with a fundraising form available below.
Those who complete the challenge will receive their medal from the man himself - former Swansea City striker and club ambassador Lee Trundle - during a final kilometre 'Victory Lap' at the Swansea.com Stadium.
FAQ's

What am I fundraising for?
Swansea City AFC Foundation will be the first organisation to represent Wales as we aim to field a team at the 2026 Street Child World Cup.
This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for 10 street-connected young people from local communities across Swansea, many of whom have never left the county, let alone represented their country overseas.
The event shines a spotlight on children living in street situations, the adversities they face and the fundamental rights they lack (identity, protection from violence, gender equality and access to education).
How do I document my progress?
You can use screenshots of any health/tracking app from your phone (i.e. Strava, Garmin, Apple Health app). If you don’t use these, we can accept photos of treadmills or a list on a spreadsheet with the date and distance covered. We encourage you to post your progress on social media (and tag @Swansfdn) and submit your evidence to fundraising@swansfoundation.org.uk
How will I receive my medal?
On Sunday April 27, we will be hosting a ‘Victory Lap’ event, where fans can complete the final 1km around the stadium, walk through the tunnel and receive their medal pitchside from Lee Trundle.
What happens if I can’t make the event?
If you’re unable to attend this event, your medal will be posted to the home address you provided on the form.
The medals will be posted (second class, signed for) after the challenge closes on Sunday April 27. We also ship worldwide. If you haven’t received your medal within two weeks, please contact fundraising@swansfoundation.org.uk.
What is your refunds/faulty medal policy?
All medals are thoroughly quality checked before they leave our premises. In the case of a medal being faulty or damaged during transit, please contact us at fundraising@swansfoundation.org.uk. No refunds are available after purchase.
