Cardiff half marathon passes £20m raised for charities
The event has been running in the Welsh capital since 2003
25 thousand people ran Cardiff's half marathon on Sunday taking landmarks across the Welsh capital.
Kenya's Geoffrey Keoch won the elite men's race with a time of one hour and one second!
This year's Cardiff half marathon saw £2.3 million pounds raised for charities including NSPCC, British Heart Foundation, Mind, Prostate Cancer UK, Shelter Cymru and Alzheimer’s Society with the total fundraising figure since the event started back in 2003 now passing £20m.
Run 4 Wales CEO Matt Newman said: “It’s always such as fantastic atmosphere at the Cardiff Half. It’s a showcase of everything that is brilliant about Wales.
"It’s evolved enormously since it first began in 2003 but one thing remains the same and that’s the friendliness and the support right around the course.
"Our volunteers – our Extra Milers – have turned out in their hundreds and we owe a huge debt of thanks to them.
“Of course, our focus will soon turn to preparations for 2023 which will mark the 20th anniversary of the Cardiff Half so runners can expect something very special on 1 October next year and entries will go on sale in a matter of days.”
