Run the Cardiff Half on behalf of the Welsh Sports Foundation
The Welsh Sports Foundation is delighted to announce that it has limited places available, in the sold-out 2026 Cardiff Half Marathon.
The event will take place on Sunday 4th October 2026 and, having grown into one of the UK’s most exciting road races since its formation in 2003, will once again welcome nearly 30,000 participants from across the globe.
Fundraising is at the heart of the Cardiff Half, with many runners choosing to raise money for good causes.
Raising more than £3 million each year, the race supports many charities and good causes.
Now for the 2026 edition, The WSF is thrilled to invite fundraising runners to compete and raise money for the charity next October.
Entry is free, and runners will need to commit to targeting a total of £500 each.
The WSF strives to remove financial barriers to sport and physical activity for young people in Wales, creating a healthy and happy Wales where every individual child and young person can participate.

WSF Chair, Richard Thomas, stated:
“The Cardiff Half Marathon is an incredible event for the city, generating millions of pounds each year for worthy causes.
“What makes our charity unique is how we harness the power and appeal of sport to break down financial barriers to access. We’re committed to ensuring that children and young people across Wales – who are eager to take part in sport and physical activity but lack the means – get the opportunity they deserve.”
