Cardiff Half Marathon 2024

About the Cardiff Half Marathon

The Cardiff Half Marathon is the biggest running event in Wales and one of six European SuperHalfs, making it one of the most iconic half marathons in the world.

With a course that is flat and fast, the Cardiff Half Marathon is a great race for beginner and experienced runners alike. Many of the 27,000 runners choose to run for charity, guaranteeing an incredible atmosphere on the day.

The event is expected to sell out earlier than ever, so be sure to secure your place today and run in support of Maggie's.
