Set in the heart of Cardiff’s historic Bay, the
springtime Cardiff Bay Run kicks off our 2018
event season and is a fast, flat and friendly event
for all ages and abilities. The route takes in all
of Cardiff Bay’s most iconic landmarks, starting
and finishing in Roald Dahl Plass and passing the
Wales Millennium Centre, Mermaid Quay, Pierhead
Building, Senedd, Porth Teigr and the Cardiff Bay
Barrage. The popular race sold out with 6,500
runners in 2017. Organised in conjunction with Kidney Wales, the
Cardiff 10K is Wales’ most established road race
with a proud 32 year history.
The flat, fast course is perfect for new runners
looking for a challenge or more seasoned athletes
aiming to break their PB’s.
