The Oysho Cardiff Half Marathon has grown into the UK's second largest half marathon and now is a member of the SuperHalfs, a global series of the world’s most prestigious races.
On this flat, fast 13.1 mile course you'll pass the city’s best scenery and most iconic landmarks including Cardiff Castle, the Principality Stadium, Civic Centre and stunning Cardiff Bay!
Join us and make a real difference to the cats and kittens that need our help.
For this half marathon challenge there is a registration fee of £25 and we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £300.
This amount could feed 50 cats and kittens in our care for a whole month!
Make your half marathon more meaningful! Join our team of Cat Champions to get a Cats Protection running vest and then simply set up a fundraising page and raise whatever you can to help the cats and kittens in our care.
The Oysho Cardiff Half Marathon ballot is open now! Sign up here before 19th October to be in with a chance of getting a place.
We'll be with you every step of the way, from sign-up to the finish line! When you join Team Cats, you’ll get a first-class experience including:
We help an estimated 157,000 cats and kittens a year through our national network which includes around 185 volunteer teams and 32 cat centres. We also provide an array of cat care information and support, promote the benefits of neutering, and seek to educate people of all ages about cats and their care.
You're able to nominate any local Cats Protection to receive 100% of the money you raise from your challenge, helping the cats in your chosen area.
It was an amazing day, the crowd were behind all participants and having my name on the vest helped as there were typical calls of 'come on Linda, do it for the cats!'
