This August, we're bringing it back to where it all began.

Join our Ninian 99 Challenge and cover 99 miles throughout August in celebration of Cardiff City FC's 99 years at Ninian Park. That's just over 3 miles, or 5km, a day.

Run, walk, cycle, or swim your way through August – however you choose to move, every mile counts.

As Cardiff City FC approaches the landmark 100th anniversary of the club's famous 1927 FA Cup victory, we're turning back the clock to honour the history and heritage of Ninian Park throughout the month of the challenge.

Whether you're looking to stay active as a family or simply want to challenge yourself this summer, the Ninian 99 Challenge is a brilliant way to stay active and support a meaningful cause.
