Cardiff Half Marathon
The Cardiff University Cardiff Half Marathon has grown into one of the largest and most exciting road races in the UK.
About the race
The Cardiff Half Marathon is now one of Europe’s largest half marathons and is Wales’ largest mass participation and multi-charity fundraising event. It now attracts a race field of over 27,500 registered runners alongside world-class athletes in a trio of fiercely contested men’s, women’s and wheelchair elite races.
The event now offers a full weekend of activities, with a host of family-friendly activities at Saturday’s Festival of Running preceding Sunday’s half marathon.
