Flight operator Wizz Air has been announced as the new title sponsor of the Cardiff Half Marathon taking over from Cardiff University. The university had held the 'title partner' position since 2016, and most recently sponsored the 2022 race held across the city over the weekend.
The airline takes over the sponsorship ahead of the opening of their new base at Cardiff Airport. You can read the latest on that here. The first Wizz Air Cardiff Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, October 2 2022. The race will be held just over six months after the most recent event after it was postponed due to the pandemic. You can follow our coverage from Sunday's event here.
The Cardiff Half returned to the Welsh capital on Sunday March 27 for the first time since 2019 as more than 25,000 people took part in the 18th edition of the event, which was originally scheduled for October 2020 before being delayed due to the Covid pandemic.
