CDF Runners: Handicap 5km

Join us for the CDF Runners: Handicap 5km free event! This unique run is a bit different from your typical race. Instead of a mass start, we use a staggered start based on each runner's fastest time at the 5km distance.

Here's how it works: let's say we have three runners. Runner A has a personal best (PB) of 30 minutes, Runner B has a PB of 25 minutes, and Runner C has a PB of 20 minutes. Runner A will start first, followed by Runner B five minutes later, and finally Runner C five minutes after that.

This equalizing factor of time gives everyone a fair chance to come in first. It's all about personal improvement and pushing yourself to beat your own best time.

We'll be using the Cardiff parkrun route for this event, starting and finishing near the Royal College of Music and Drama.

To ensure accurate start times, we'll need your current 5k time by 18/08/2023. Please add it to your ticket purchase for the event.

Don't miss out on this exciting and inclusive race. Lace up your running shoes and join us for the CDF Runners: Handicap 5km free event!
