Race Day Information
Check out your digital race day guide HERE, packed with important information ahead of Sunday 1 September.
Location: Civic Centre, Cardiff.
Date & Time: Sunday 1 September 2024. The 10K begins at 10:00am.
Race Pack and Number: Your race number and a race day guide will be posted to you within a week of the race. Your pack will include a running bib, with a unique race number. It’s vital that you keep this safe as a timing chip (which enables us to give you your finishing time) is embedded into all 10K race numbers – which cannot be reissued.
Please pin the number to the front of your t-shirt on race day, and remember to complete the medical information on the back of your race number. This is VERY important.

Travel & Parking: Cardiff is easily accessible by foot, bike, car, bus and train. To embrace a sustainable event, we encourage active travel such as walking or cycling (the city has many accessible cycle routes).

Baggage: Bag storage is situated in the Event Village and will be open from 08:30am. Tear off the baggage label strip on the bottom of your 10K race number and attach it to your bag before you arrive.
10K Race Start: The 10km race starts on King Edward VII Avenue. The solid colour (either white, green, red, blue or yellow) behind the number on your running bib will dictate which starting pen you must assemble in before the race.
To avoid confusion on the day it is vital that you look at the Venue Map in your Race Day Guide (posted to your prior to the event) for details on how to access your starting pen. Pens will open at 09:45am.
