Runner Number and Timing Chip Baggage Area
Your timing chip will be embedded in your
runner number. Please remember to bring your
runner number with you on the day as these
cannot be re-issued.
Please ensure your runner number is safely
and clearly pinned to the FRONT of your vest
or t-shirt.
YOU MUST FILL IN YO UR EMERGENCY
DETAILS ON THE BACK OF YOUR NUMBER.
Please note: failure to wear your runner number
across the starting mat will mean your time will
not be recorded.
Timing Pens
The solid colour behind the number on your race
bib will correspond with your coloured starting
pen and the estimated time entered when
registering. Please assemble within the clearly
signposted colour-coded pens on Castle Street.
For safety reasons, runners must assemble
in the correct colour starting pen and cannot
move forwards a pen, only backwards.
Please allow enough time to walk to the start
and assemble. Pens will open at 9.15am.
The race will have a staggered start to ensure
all runners cross the start line as safely as
possible. Each runner will be provided with a
chip and gun finish time. Your gun time begins
when the starting ‘gun’ is fired at the beginning
of each pen start. Your chip time begins as the
timing chip on your running number passes over
the starting line.

RACE DAY INFO
“It was truly
a memorable
experience to run
the Cardiff Half for
the second time
myself and getting
my husband and
children involved in
the Family Fun Run
for the first time last
year. The Saturday
before the big race
was a relaxed, fun-
filled day that we all
thoroughly enjoyed.
We supported
Barnardo’s which
made the experience
even more special
for us. The children
were thrilled with
their medals, they
treasure them dearly
to this day and keep
asking, ‘When are we
going to run it
again Mummy?’.”
Thank you to all our fantastic
#TeamBarnardos runners in the
Cardiff University / Cardiff Half
Marathon and Cardiff Family Fun Run.
Your generous fundraising is helping
Barnardo’s Cymru support some of the
most vulnerable children and families
across Wales through 94 specialised
projects. You are making a real
difference to young carers, bereaved
and disabled children, those at risk of
abuse and many more. Thank you.
