Organiser's Description
With a brand new medal design, this is one you won't want to miss!
This is one of our timed events where you choose how far to go - from 5km to 10k, half to marathon to ultra, you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like of a 5.3km, 3.28 mile, out and back, course along Cardiff Bay. Starting at the Norwegian Church where author Roald Dahl was christened, you will head towards the viewpoint alongside the Barrage Control Centre, working your way past the Senedd and Pierhead Building, through Roald Dahl Plass, to the turnaround point at the Wales Millennium Centre and Torchwood Tower before finishing your lap back at the Norwegian Church.
We welcome runners and walkers alike - complete one lap and you're both a finisher and a winner in our eyes or keep going and see how far you can get in the full 7-hour time limit. Everyone gets the fabulous bespoke finishers medal.
We operate our uniquely flexible 'rock up and run' start times within a 1-hour start window, so no waiting around if you arrive early and no added pressure if you're running a bit late. If you have any special start time requirements, get in touch because depending on the distance you plan to run, we will try to accommodate all start time requests.
Not sure? Well, the beauty of this format is that you don't even need to decide in advance - simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.
Places will be strictly limited, so don't leave it too late to enter.
Minimum distance is 3.28 miles or as far as you can go in 7 hours. This route is entirely tarmac or pavement with one very short section on a wooden boardwalk. The overall course has 23m elevation gain/loss per lap, making this a fairly flat route.
