With a well-deserved reputation as one of the United Kingdom’s best running events, the Oysho Cardiff Half Marathon is a race not to be missed.

The route takes in all of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Principality Stadium, Cardiff Bay, the Civic Centre, and Cardiff Castle. Thousands of spectators turn out to cheer on the runners in a city renowned for its sporting passion.

Cardiff is a vibrant capital city that offers unique attractions, world-class sports stadiums, entertainment, waterfront restaurants, and seemingly endless parks.

The event attracts a sell-out field of 27,500 runners each year and is truly a Race for Everyone – where world-class athletes run alongside charity fundraisers and first-time runners.

In 2016, the event cemented its status as a globally recognised race when it hosted the World Half Marathon Championships. Now, with its place in the SuperHalfs series, this already amazing event is set to grow even stronger.
