The Cardiff Half Marathon is finally making its return this weekend, over 900 days since its last event in October 2019. The huge event, which is sponsored by Cardiff University, will see thousands of people walk, jog or run 13.1 miles around the capital, challenging themselves and raising funds for local, national and international charities and community organisations.
The race, which will take place on Sunday, March 27, will be the largest mass-participation event to take place in Wales since before the coronavirus pandemic. It is one of two half marathons taking place in the city in 2022 after the 2020 and 2021 events were cancelled. You can read more about this year's event here.
The course has always been predominantly flat, so the event draws an eclectic mix of first-time runners and professionals. Back in 2018, 25,000 people took part in the event and runners raised more than £3 million for a number of charities. While the event is open to all, previous well-known participants include Team GB's most decorated track Olympian Mo Farah, Paralympic champion Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson and BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills
