Take part in one of the UK’s biggest and best road races on an iconic course around Wales’ capital city. The Cardiff Half Marathon boasts one of the most stunning 13.1 mile courses around! The route takes runners past the capital’s most iconic landmarks with beautiful scenery and historic buildings. The predominately flat and fast course makes it ideal for beginners and elites.
The race starts outside Cardiff Castle and runners then head down past Cardiff City Stadium on the way to Penarth. They take in the glorious Penarth Marina before crossing the barrage and heading to Cardiff Bay. Runners run right through the heart of the bay taking in the Norwegian Church and Wales Millennium Centre.
The course then heads towards the north of the city and runners will complete a loop of the beautiful Roath Park Lake before the grandstand finish in the heart of the city at the Civic Centre.
The Cardiff University/Cardiff Half Marathon, Wales’ leading mass participation event, has officially been recognised as one of the leading road races in the world by the IAAF.

Traveled on vacation to visit family in Wales. Found about this Cardiff Marathon happening about the same time as our visit, had to do it while in the area! Cardiff is a large populated area (Capital of Wales) so race was pretty large, about 20K runners. Well run event. Weather was moderate. Lots of different things to view in a foreign country, including castles, along the course. No complaints about anything. Finishing medal was just average. Overall a great experience.
