Race for Life Cardiff at Coopers Field - Bute Park
This event, organised by Cancer Research UK, takes place at Coopers Field in Bute Park, Cardiff (Off North Road, Cathays, CF10 3ER). The route starts and finishes on grass and runs on a mixture of tarmac paths and grassy fields. In severely wet weather the grass sections can become boggy and the ground softer than usual.
The 10k route is a double lap of the 5k course. The course includes two bridge crossings with small inclines; an alternative route can bypass the bridges but may shorten the course.
