Run the Cardiff 10k - it's the 30th anniversary!
The next race in the runbritain Grand Prix series is the Cardiff 10k, which is celebrating its 30th year!
This event, that attracted 4300 runners last year, offers a fast course for those looking to reduce their handicap score, and a fun atmosphere for those who want to run at a more leisurely pace.
This year’s race will take place on Sunday September 6th, with the main 10k event commencing at 10.00am and the 2K family run starting at 9.15am. The race is organised by leading charity, Kidney Wales, who are calling for Kidney Wales fundraisers to run on behalf of the charity on the race day.
Over the past 30 years the Cardiff 10k has raised a staggering £1.5 million for Welsh charities, including St. Johns Ambulance, Cancer Research Wales and LATCH. This year, Welsh cancer charity Tenovus has signed up a 60 strong team to run in the event, purchasing Cardiff 10k’s charity package, which offers special rates for charity team entrants
Following a change to the Cardiff 10k race route in 2014 due to restrictions enforced by the NATO conference in the city centre, this year’s 30th anniversary event will see a return to the original race route, which will see runners running through the streets of the city centre and Bute Park.
Registration for the race is now open and people of all ages are encouraged to get involved with the 30th anniversary race, which gives runners options to enter as an individual, or with friends, family or colleagues in the Community and Corporate Team Challenges.
