Cardiff parkrun

About this parkrun

Very flat, all on tarmac paths alongside the river and through beautiful Bute Park. Single lap (hurrah!). Quite crowded - a lot of runners every week, but always well-organised and friendly. Convenient parking.

Very flat, very fast, but very busy. All tarmac meandering alongside river with 1km loop at far end. Large numbers for course width means early congestion. Parking in Tesco car park (in store toilets and cafe). Views of castle and stadium at far end.

Very flat and fast course on tarmac. Top 20 = <18min pace
Out and back course with the first/last 1.7km repeated.

Measured by a UK/Welsh Athletics certified measurer

Big turnout (average ~600-700 runners), very friendly atmosphere.

It is very busy but also very flat and very fast (only one sharpish bend). Narrow through the playing field as the returning runners meet runners going out (single-file if you're sub 20).

Very busy event with big numbers every week. Great organisation and brilliant course. The alternative course is still faster than most courses.

Very flat, very fast, all tarmac one loop through Bute Park, the richest urban park for trees in the world. There are three cafes in the park and another at Tesco near the start/finish. Numbers tend to be 700-800. Course is a certified accurate 5K.

Nice flat course very much PB potential only gripe very congested at start due to narrow path.

Flat, fast. Good for PB attempts if you're starting close to front, otherwise potential to get caught up in traffic. Out and back with about half mile single file. Great volunteer team. Parking and facilities very close by at Tesco.

Hot sunny May morning, lovely run round the park, although this was the B course due to a foodie festival on the main course. Still fast and flat, but lots of runners, so if you want to go fast, aim for the front.
