Its flat course passes the city’s most iconic landmarks including Cardiff Castle, the Principality Stadium, Civic Centre and stunning Cardiff Bay, with thousands of spectators turning out to cheer on the runners.

By taking one of our charity places, you’ll be helping us to continue our work to improve health and wellbeing, support learning and skills, and build stronger communities across Cardiff and beyond.
For years we have been delivering impactful health, wellbeing and community programmes – from schools to weight loss programme's, to social hubs for veterans and people living with Dementia.
Last season, more than 17,700 participants took part in our programmes across seven local authorities, making it our biggest year of impact yet. But with your support, we can do even more.
Run for people like Zara.
Born prematurely and living with cerebral palsy, 15-year-old Zara has found confidence, friendship and independence through Premier League Inclusive Kicks. Over the past four years, she has become more confident, independent, and a fearless goalkeeper.
