SSAFA Cardiff

Welcome to the site dedicated to SSAFA Cardiff’s 5K Race Series.

The 2020 edition of the race Series is on and this year’s dates have been arranged. The races are held on three Wednesday evenings (one per month) and the Blackweir Tavern on North Road in Cardiff forms our race headquarters.

Race dates are as follows:
Wednesdays, May 20th, June 24th and July 22nd 2020

The 2019 Series features a new course, as well as improved timing and recording facilities.

As always, you can enter on the night, (you’ll find entry forms and pens on the tables) or you can enter online, in advance, including payment.

More about race entry.

Details of the new course are available on the Course Map page.

Blackweir Tavern – more information 

For the 2019 season, you can enter via the FullonSport website using your FoS account. If you don’t have an account, you can register for one – it’s free – and then enter straightaway.

Why not enter for the Series and get a discount on your entry fees. See the FullonSport portal for details.

There is no surcharge for using FoS entry.

As usual, entry on the night is possible using forms which are made available. (Having a pen handy never hurts.)

Last option: download the entry form here for completion by hand in advance. Just remember to bring it with you on the night!

2019 Entry form

For 2019, a new course has been designed (and measured) by Graham Finlayson BEM with the Start/Finish line located south of the Ambulance Station.

Access to the Start/Finish line will be signposted from the Blackweir Tavern which will continue to serve as the Race HQ.

As usual, the Series is held under UK & Welsh Athletics rules and is a CAAC Calendar Event.

You can download the course map and elevation profile here as PDFs for your own reference.
