FAQs

What entry category do I fall under?

The Affiliated price type is for those registered with an athletics club – membership numbers must be stated during registration. The General Entry category is for those who are not registered with an athletics club. You will need to provide an up-to-date membership number upon entry so please have this handy and ensure that your club membership is up-to-date.

When will my race pack arrive?

It will arrive within 7 days of the event at the latest. If you are an Overseas Entrant, you will need to collect it from the Event Village on the morning of the race. If your race pack does not arrive in the post, email cardiffbay@run4wales.org on the Friday of race weekend and they will arrange a replacement pack for collection at the race.

How old must I be to take part in the 10K?

All runners must be aged 15 or older on the day of the event.

How will my start pen for the 10K be allocated?

You will be allocated a pen, depending on your predicted finishing time that you will submit when entering the race. Pen number ranges will vary depending on total competitor entries so therefore pen colours can vary between years, even when the same estimated time is given at point of entry. It is unfortunately not possible to change your allocated start pen, so please take care when completing your entry form to ensure you receive an appropriate allocation. The number of runners in each starting pen is carefully calculated to ensure a safe number of participants are in each, so it will not be possible to move forward into an earlier starting pen. You can however move back if you wish.
