The route takes runners past the capital’s most iconic landmarks with beautiful scenery and historic buildings. It’s predominately flat and fast, making it ideal for beginners and elites.
The race starts outside Cardiff Castle and runners then head down past the Principality and Cardiff City Stadiums on the way to Penarth. They take in the glorious Penarth Marina before crossing the barrage and heading to Cardiff Bay. Runners run right through the heart of the bay taking in the Norwegian Church, Senedd and Wales Millennium Centre.
The course then heads towards the north of the city and runners will complete a loop of the beautiful Roath Park Lake before the grandstand finish in the heart of the city at the Civic Centre.
The wheelchair race will start at 9:50am. Elite, white, green and red pens will start at 10:00am and blue, purple and yellow pens will start from 10:10am. Check out the interactive route map above to see the route in more detail.
