Cardiff Marathon

The Cardiff Marathon (or as it is now known, the Cardiff Half Marathon) has been an annual marathon race held in the Welsh capital city of Cardiff. The event is usually held in October and attracted over 1,270 participants in 2006 for the main marathon event. The event was established by Cardiff County Council and the South Wales Echo in 2002 to raise money for various charities. The 2005 marathon raised over £450,000 for 170 local charities including Barnardos. 2006 was the last year that it was called the Cardiff Marathon, from 2007 it became only a half marathon.
