🎉 Cardiff was buzzing with excitement this Sunday as thousands of runners took to the streets for the 2025 Cardiff Half Marathon! 🎽🏃♂️🏃♀️
Since its humble beginnings, this event has grown into a staple on Wales’ calendar and is now Europe’s second-largest half marathon. With almost 30,000 eager participants signed up, the city turned into a vibrant sea of determination and community spirit. 🌊💪
This year saw some exciting races with Yismaw Dillu setting a new record of 59:22 to clinch the men’s title, while Miriam Chebet crossed the finish line as the fastest woman at 1:06:36. Callum Hall raced his way to victory in the wheelchair category with an impressive time of 53:46. 🏅👏
From early morning, Cardiff’s city centre was filled with buzzing energy as streets were cheerfully closed off to traffic, and the wonderful supporters lined the route, showering runners with cheers and encouragement. Charity volunteers dotted the course, contributing to the heartwarming vibe with their dedication. ❤️🙌
Runners of all ages took part, each with their own unique story and reason for running—some for charity, others for personal accomplishment, and many just to soak up the incredible atmosphere of the Welsh capital. 🏴🏴☠️
With all places in the main race snapped up in record time, demand has inspired organisers to switch to a ballot entry system for 2026. The appetite for this iconic event just keeps growing! 🌟
