“I’ve done loads of races on my own, but this was my daughter in a wheelchair’s first 10k. I have shown pics to everyone I know and bored everyone who will listen I was so proud we did 10k together. this event was amazing.”

the event will take place in bute park, cardiff, cf10 3er, with loops starting and finishing in coopers field.

the event will run from 7:30am-6pm, with staggered start times for each distance.

your fundraising will directly help us to provide vital mental health support for more people. even raising just £100 would provide a therapy session for someone struggling with their mental health.

we are accepting children as young as 2 to take part in this event – anyone under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult.

yes, we want the event to be open to everyone so we will be ensuring it is accessible.

dogs are allowed on-site at the event but not in the race.

we will send out an event pack with your bib ahead of the race and your spotty tee.

we’d recommend trying to stick to your designated distance, but understand on the day things may happen so we can change up or down if needed. if possible, please give us at least one weeks notice before the event to arrange your start time.

tickets for this event are non-refundable.

yes, if you are running with your child please buy them their own ticket for the event – please fill out one entry with your own details and a second one with their respective details. we also have children’s spotty tees so please specify that they will require a children’s top along with their size.

• early bird tickets £15 (until 13th may) .
• tier 1 tickets £18 (from 14th may)
• tier 2 tickets £20 (from 30th june)

we are asking everyone to wear one of our spotty tees for the event, and we are covering the price and postage of this within your race entry. if you have an affiliated top eg. a collaboration top from a running club, you will still need to wear one of our original bigmoose spotty tees.

there is no parking on-site but there are a number of car parks nearby to the park in the city centre, we would recommend the sophia gardens pay and display or north road pay and display car parks

absolutely! simply select a target that you would like to aim for upon registration, and then if you find you would like to change this, this is fine. for example, you may raise £100 and then want to push your fundraising further and aim for £250 – this is absolutely awesome, just let us know!
