Bluebirds
fan Jacob Lambert is going the extra mile—literally—to support the Cardiff City
FC Community Foundation. Jacob has committed to running 125 laps around Cardiff
City Stadium on the 1st September, a challenge that equates to over a full
marathon in distance.
This
event kicks off our 125k Fundraising campaign, celebrating Cardiff City
Football Club’s 125th Anniversary season.
Jacob,
a dedicated runner who took up the sport during the Covid-19 lockdown, has
previously completed several endurance challenges. Notably, he ran from
Pembroke to Cardiff—four marathons in four days—to raise funds for a mental
health charity. Earlier this year, Jacob undertook an even greater challenge:
running five ultramarathons in five days from Llandudno to Pentyrch, in memory
of his late grandfather, to support Dementia UK.
The
funds raised through this challenge will directly support the Community
Foundation, official charity of Cardiff City FC, to improve health &
wellbeing, support learning & skills, and build stronger communities,
including educational initiatives, community outreach work and social isolation
projects that inspire hope and a sense of belonging.

Working together, the club and our communities can achieve great things.
