The Gambo Race is a charity-based community event organised as a joint venture by Pyle RFC and The Cornelly Arms public house. It was started in 2001 and has become an institution in its own right gaining a reputation as a great and fun day out for all.

The Gambo Race has been documented online exclusively by Kenfig.org since 2003 with unprecidented success attracting viewing from across the world and even helping to boost the moral of British Forces serving overseas. The event attracts visitors to the Kenfig and surrounding areas from right across the UK and from around the world.

Kenfig.org has covered the event since 2003 due to popular demand. The online worldwide response has been staggering... the inclusion of the Gambo Race on this website initially provided the catalyst for the mainstay of the website's marketing strategies. In 2008 the first five days coverage attracted ¼ million hits - this compared to 55,000 hits in the month following our initial coverage in 2003.

Kenfig.org was responsible for both the 2003 & 2004 Gambo Race photos in the Glamorgan Gazette Newspaper, a local newspaper covering the whole of the Bridgend County Borough and published by (Wales Online) - Westerm Mail & South Wales Echo Publications, Cardiff, South Wales. The Western Mail is owned by Trinity Mirror Group.

Previous photos of the Annual Gambo Race were published in the local MCK Newsletter thus providing further coverage of the event to people who do not have access to the Internet - sadly the MCK Newsletter ended in 2004.
