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 125^th 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.
