Bag storage

A baggage store will be open at 7.30am in the Runners’ Village in Roald Dahl Plass (the Oval Basin) in Cardiff Bay. All runners are allowed to deposit one bag, which must display your baggage label. Bags can be collected after the race upon receipt of your runner number. Only runners and staff will have access to this area.

It is strongly advised to leave valuables at home. Race organisers cannot be held responsible if items go missing. We will do our utmost to safeguard your baggage, but the area is not locked.
