context_page_description: The Cardiff Half Marathon is an annual half marathon race held in the Welsh capital city of Cardiff, taking place in October. The event was established in 2003, initially alongside a marathon, and was originally organised by the children’s charity Barnardo’s. Now organised by Run 4 Wales, the race has grown to accommodate up to 25,000 runners. Also in partnership with the race is Cardiff Council, the Vale of Glamorgan Council, the Welsh Government, Welsh Athletics and title sponsors Cardiff University.
  The course has always been predominantly flat, making it ideal for first time runners and professionals alike. The next race will take place on 6 October 2019, with over 7500 places being taken within 24 hours of entries opening. The event has incorporated the prestigious Welsh Half Marathon Championships; entitling the top three Welsh male and female finishers to represent Wales in an international half marathon. In 2018, the Cardiff University/Cardiff Half Marathon hosted the inaugural Commonwealth Half Marathon Championships, with Australia and Uganda dominating proceedings.
