On Sunday 5th October we truly saw the spirit of community, as we all came together to celebrate Cardiff Half Marathon 2025. 

Surprisingly, the luck was completely on our side with the weather, which allowed us to host numerous events at Cathays Community Centre, as well as supporting the runners. We even gathered in the garden to host a cycling event, to raise money for the after-school clubs that take place at the centre.  

We do want to say a huge thank you to everyone who made the effort to come to the centre, and especially to those that donated! Theres still a long way to go to help support the after-school clubs, so if you can, please donate here: https://localgiving.org/fundraising/CCYCP-After-school-clubs 

One of the incredible runners was our one of our very own, Emily Redmond. With multiple months of preparation, we knew that as a community we needed to cheer her on for that very final stretch. Emily says, “The centre is right towards the end of the race, so I always knew I wouldn’t be in my best shape; however, seeing Christina and Russ at the very front of the crowds, as the final push I needed”.  

What an incredible day and atmosphere that Cardiff Half brings every year. We’re so proud of all the runners, but especially our own – Well Done, Emily! Thank you to everyone who joined us at the centre – we hope you had a great time. We can’t wait for next year.
