The course, which winds along Cardiff Bay's picturesque waterfront, features an out-and-back route that showcases some of Wales' most recognizable structures. From the historic Norwegian Church where Roald Dahl was christened to the modern Senedd and Wales Millennium Centre, runners will enjoy passing by these architectural marvels while also taking in panoramic views over the bay.
Whether you're a seasoned athlete aiming for distance milestones or someone looking to experience the scenic beauty at your own pace, this event caters to all levels of fitness. The terrain is predominantly flat with just 23 meters of elevation gain per lap, making it accessible and enjoyable while still offering a challenge through its flexibility in distances.

For those who wish to celebrate their achievement beyond crossing the finish line, premium medal options are available at entry levels starting from £20; however, a no-medal option also exists to keep participation costs low.
Parking is conveniently located near The Lock Keepers Cottage car park with access via CF10 4PA. Event organizers recommend using What3Words for precise navigation: ///give.fails.nobody.
