St David’s Day Run

Immerse yourself in the vibrant spirit of St David's Day by joining runners from around the world at Bute Park in Cardiff. The festivities offer three distinct race options: a 5k, a 10k, and a half marathon, each winding through the park’s scenic trails. For younger participants, there is also a fun mini run designed for little ones.
The event promises to be an exhilarating morning filled with celebration as runners don traditional Welsh attire or simply revel in the festive atmosphere. From daffodils and leeks adorning headbands to dragon-inspired costumes, every runner adds their unique flair to this colorful gathering.
Bute Park itself is a picturesque setting for the races, featuring lush greenery and serene lakes that make for an engaging course with varied terrain. The route offers both flat stretches and gentle inclines, providing runners of all abilities with a challenging yet enjoyable experience.
Proceeds from each entry will be split between two esteemed Welsh charities: Cancer Research Wales and Kidney Wales Foundation. Participants are encouraged to raise additional funds through personal donations or pledges to support these vital causes.
Join us on this special day as we come together not just for the race, but also in solidarity with those affected by cancer and kidney disease across Wales. It’s a chance to make a meaningful contribution while enjoying one of Cardiff's most celebrated events.
Runners can expect an enthusiastic crowd lining the route, creating an energetic backdrop that will propel them through each mile. Whether you are looking for a personal best or just out for fun, this event has something unique to offer every participant.
