Kidney Wales CDF 10K - Cardiff
The Kidney Wales CDF 10K is a city-centre road race covering a distance of 10 km through central Cardiff. The course runs past several well-known landmarks, including Cardiff Castle and the Principality Stadium, crosses the River Taff and continues toward the Pontcanna area and the grade 2 listed parkland of Llandaff and Pontcanna Fields. Runners then pass Sophia Gardens before a finish in front of the Edwardian Civic Centre.
The event was revived to return the race to the streets of the Welsh capital and has given thousands of runners the opportunity to race through the city. It is positioned in the late-summer calendar and is described as suitable for those building toward longer distances; the timing can serve as preparation for the Cardiff Half Marathon in October. Organisers present the race as part of the Run 4 Wales event programme and include media resources and route information for participants and spectators.
Practical details such as exact start procedures, entry requirements and event services are provided separately by the organisers. The description above focuses on the route and the event’s role in the local running calendar. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
