5k Race Series 2018 – 20th Anniversary
Welcome to the site dedicated to SSAFA Cardiff’s 5K Race Series.
It’s our 20th anniversary and the 2018 edition of this popular series is now live. Races are held on three Wednesday evenings (one per month) at the Blackweir Tavern on North Road in Cardiff.
Race dates are as follows:
Wednesdays, May 23rd, June 20th and July 25th 2018
Registration begins at 1700 and runs until shortly before the race starts at 1930
The SSAFA 5k Road Race Series in Cardiff consists of three 5k Road Races each summer and raises money for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association, Cardiff & The Vale Region. The Series is held under UK & Welsh Athletics rules and is a CAAC Calendar Event.
You can enter on the night using forms which are made available or you can pre-register for the June 20th race. Your details will be forwarded to the organizers.
If you do pre-register, listen out for instructions on the evening.
Last option: download the entry form here for completion by hand in advance. Just remember to bring it with you on the night!
In 2018, the course for the SSAFA Cardiff 5K race has had to be amended because of road and pavement works adjacent to North Road. A new course has been arranged and professionally measured and certified in accordance with UK and Welsh Athletics requirements.
The biggest difference is that the race now has a new starting point which is reached via the Ambulance Station; there are other small changes to pathways. Marshalling arrangements have also been updated to ensure runners know where they’re going.
The Series is held under UK & Welsh Athletics rules and is a CAAC Calendar Event.
