The event was very friendly and well-organized. I ran 5K to support my daughter on her birthday, she ran half marathon. Also, Cardiff is beautiful. The weather was not a problem, it was cool and not hot. Thank you for organizing!

Amazing! What else and I say! Very friendly and nice community. If you are aiming to have your first important running experience, like a half marathon - definitely choose an event by "Find a race" they know what they're doing. Even the worst rainy day became an amazing experience! I am forever grateful for you support and thumbs up on every corner! ;)

Great Event ! Well Organised.
For all types of runners and abilities.
My First Proper Race and the weather was awful but still had a blast and got a 10k PB 48.28. Definitely worth it and will be back next year.

Enjoyable event overall. Planned well and weather was dry which is a plus. Only thing is that the toilet queue got pretty long but went down surprisingly quick. Good atmosphere too so will be looking to take part next year too.

Great race! Probably my favourite this year, very nearly got a pb (maybe next year). I liked the course and the stewards were lovely. Drove from Bristol to attend and will be back again.

This was an enjoyable race in nice surroundings, well organised with easy parking. One downside - With the 10k and 5k starting one hour after the Half marathon, was a significant bottleneck on one part of the course, which was difficult to navigate when racing. It was regretful to have to duck and weave between runners in order to maintain pace and I felt quite awkward and apologetic. Also, based on my Garmin and pace calculations, I thought the distance was slightly under-measured.

Ran the half-marathon. Great organisation, really friendly and helpful staff and well managed event for runners of all the races. It was lovely to be part of a smaller more intimate race as opposed to the Cardiff Half, and so will be making this one a regular in my running calendar. Had a great time. Thanks to all concerned.

It was a great course with friendly marshalls and nice organisation. I know I am slow (2hrs 18 ish) but when I finished all the snacks had gone and there were no bananas or anything. In that heat I really needed something to fuel me to my car (I did a lifetime PB) and the hardest parp of the race was getting to my car (where I had food) I wasn't impressed by that

Helped by the fact the weather was great. A nice, low key event that felt like a family picnic. Course was enjoyable, not a fan of laps but really wasn't too bad. Event was well organised and all staff were really friendly.
