Run the Virtual Cardiff Half in 2021!

All participants will gain access to the virtual results platform to log their finish time and enjoy exclusive early access to the launch of the 19th edition of the Cardiff Half Marathon (scheduled for October 2022).

HOW IT WORKS
The race will run between 1 – 3 October 2021.
You can participate from any outdoor location, or on a treadmill from any worldwide location. You’ll just need to collect some supporting evidence that you have covered the 13.1 mile distance such as a photograph of gym equipment or a screenshot from a fitness tracker or GPS activity.
If you are running outdoors, you can use the ACTIVE Experience App to record your virtual race (between 1-3 October). It will track your distance, and once you have completed your race upload your finish time automatically to our leaderboard. The ACTIVE Experience App is available on iOS and Google Play. Login using the email address and password you created when registering for the race and the 2021 Virtual Cardiff Half Marathon should appear in your list of events.
If you are not using the app you will need to submit your finish time (using the link below) and supporting evidence by midnight on 4 October.
