Want to help make a real difference or know someone who would? The Cardiff Half Marathon (Hanner Marathon Caerdydd) is one of the UK’s most iconic and scenic races. This year’s event is sold out for individual entries but we have secured 5 places in aid of ME Research UK for the 4th October event – and we would love for you to join our fundraising team!
This years event takes place in the Welsh capital on 4th October and offers runners a flat, fast course which passes all of the city’s most breathtaking scenery and iconic landmarks including Cardiff Castle, the Principality Stadium, Civic Centre, and the iconic Cardiff Bay.
Since the first run in 2003, where 1,500 participated, it has grown to encompass over over 27,500 registered runners – making it one of Europe’s largest half marathons and is Wales’ largest mass participation. Such is its success that it is part of SuperHalfs, a global series of the world’s most prestigious half marathons including races in Lisbon, Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen, Cardiff and Valencia
ME Research UK will be supporting its runners with running vests and / or t-shirts and helping with fundraising, and with social media updates.
For anyone wishing to support us at another event – our Running for Charity page contains resources to help with training and our Fundraising Guide has tips on how to maximise donations.
Finally, and most importantly, have fun running and be proud that your efforts are helping ME Research UK.
