In a recent study, most runners named bananas as the food they couldnвҖҷt live without, and with good reason. Regular running can lower your potassium levels, which bananas are rich in, while they also carry plenty of vitamin B6, a useful tool for carrying oxygen around the body, and magnesium which is important for bone health. Hmmm, bananas! рҹҚҢрҹҸғвҖҚвҷҖпёҸрҹ’Ё

i loved the new route excellent potentiall for a pb my only negative gripe is it took me longer to get my bag from baggage area than running the course lol but I would recommend this race to any one .big thanks to all volunteers and supporters .just bring the sunshine next year

What a day!!

Absolutely fantastic day outstanding atmosphere not just from volunteers who done a marvellous job but also from the other runners who was also giving us a shout out and congratulating us which kept us going.

Doesn't matter how old or what size you are every one was so supportive and encouraging.

Will definatly be going again next year and will bring all my family down as it's such a lovely day not even the weather could spoil it.

Thank you for a fantastic day

See you next yearпҝҪ

This was my daughter and mines 1st 10k ever and we loved it. About half way around we decided we are going to do it again next year пҝҪпҝҪпҝҪпҝҪ

One of the best experiences I have had, my first distance run and now I've got the bug! Bit disappointed I didn't get a tshirt tho!

My first 10k and I loved it. Volunteers were amazing even in that horrid weather. Loved the cheering at different places kept me going. Only negative was there seemed to be chaos with the tshirts. Poor volunteers seemed to have a mix of sizes in each box so they stood no chance of being able to be organised. IWill definitely recommend this race though

My first 10k and I loved it. Volunteers were amazing even in that horrid weather. Loved the cheer station just after that hill. Only negative was there seemed to be chaos with the tshirts. Poor volunteers seemed to have a mix of sizes in each box so they stood no chance of being able to be organised. I volunteered at world champs last year and tshirt collection was a lot better then so it seems like an issue with the way the boxes were packed rather than the tshirt station. Will definitely recommend this race though

Loved the new route! Fantastic race and marshals who were amazing! Great crowd support!

Shame the shirts ran out though maybe we can pick them up before next year?

Thank you though it was a good one пҝҪпҝҪ

Loved it! Great course, every volunteer and marshal was amazing for braving this God awful weather. A thousand thank you's to them for enabling us to babe a safe run. I didn't have an issue with bottlenecks or cajoling for places as am a 'back of the pack' girl! My only gripe - as with most - was the lack of sizes of t shirt available. We all put out sizes on at registration, yet nothing available. Ah well, bling is awesome & a great charity.

Love running in Cardiff, well organised, great, fast route (although that Hill by the Cemetery in Roath always gives my glutes a rude awakening!!) weather was cruel to us today but spirits were high, and bit of rain won't keep a runner down!! Great fun!!

Had a fab run. My first 10k and loved it. The 7k hill was a killer. T-shirts were a bit all ove the place (small in the large section). X

First time doing this, very well organised, loved the route, Marshalls were brilliant especially in that horrible rain, loved the medal and the tshirt, results out within no time, well done, will be back next year :)

First 10km, cant say i love running but the race was really good. I even managed the hill by the cemetary. Very pleased that i did it and raised money for kidney wales. Thanks to all the marshals and supporters who were with us all the way in such miserable weather. пҝҪ

An amazing day, great to meet old friends and new. рҹҳғ

Was my first 10k or first race of any kind. Agree with the comments that there was a bottleneck situation at the turn into Roath Park which slowed pace down a bit just as I had hit my stride (ha!) and the start was certainly jostling for position - needed I think just to be wider at this point or a more staggered/longer start. Too many people in the wrong pens I dont think helped the situation. Other than that, loved the course, ran 54.00 which was well happy with for a first timer who has only been running a couple of months :)

Very good course and great experience. Only fault was how narrow it got in places which meant limited opportunity to pass in the first couple of k when the pack was clumped but still a very well run event.

Thought the race itself was ace, but felt that the start times should have been staggered more to prevent the cajoling, and jostling, for positioning that went on for the first 3 miles, and involved lots of sharp elbows and sly kicks. I also thought the medal and t-shirt distribution was poorly organised and needlessly chaotic. Having them laid out on tables with an orderly queuing system (as per most other races) would have been much more efficient. The course itself was pretty good, with the exception of the bottleneck created through the middle of Roath Park, which caused a drastic slow down of pace and a few slips and trips amongst several runners. Overall, with a few tweaks, I would recommend this race and probably do it again (purely because it's the capital of Wales and ideal for a PB)

Great course... however my 2 biggest gripes were that the course was very narrow in places due to the amount of participants therefore it was difficult to maintain a constant running cadence and the baggage drop off/pick up was a nightmare... the tent needed to be bigger and more volunteers as standing in the rain for 30mins or so wasn't enjoyable and dampened my enjoyment of the event

Atmosphere was fantastic! Everyone was so positive and the rain didn't dampen anyone's spirits! The change of course from last year was nice too, some parts were a little bumpy, but that's road running! Only thing I was disappointed with was not getting a finishers tshirt at the end. Fantastic day and a fantastic achievement for everyone! Until next year!

So after queuing for the last hour and a half to get a race number, Cardiff 10K decide to just give any race number out 25 minutes after the race has actually started with at least 300 people still queuing. Massive health and safety issue aswell as awful for people wanting to actually вҖҳraceвҖҷ with the crowd not run around Cardiff on their own! (After all that it was I paid ВЈ25 to do!)



Never again. Piss poor organisation.
