SSAFA Cardiff 5K Road Race Series
The SSAFA Cardiff 5K Road Race Series is an annual three-race running series held in Cardiff that raises funds for SSAFA South East Wales. Entrants may enter one, two or all three races. The series is organised as a competitive event under UK and Welsh Athletics rules and appears on the CAAC calendar.
The 2026 race dates are Wednesday 20 May, Wednesday 3 June and Wednesday 22 July.
The race headquarters is at the Blackweir Tavern on North Road in Cardiff. The nearest train station is Cathays, which is a very short walk from the venue. Parking at the Blackweir Tavern is limited; pay and display facilities are available further along North Road (A470) towards the city centre and are accessed on the right when approaching that direction. The car park is more easily entered when travelling away from the city centre, allowing a left turn into the car park entrance.
The event is open to a wide range of runners, including club members and individual entrants. The published entry fee for each 2026 race is £13. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
