The Principality Cardiff Half Marathon has grown into one of the largest and most exciting road races in Europe. It is Wales’ largest mass-participation and multi-charity fundraising event and the second largest half in the UK. Its flat, fast course passes all the city’s most breath-taking scenery and iconic landmarks including Cardiff Castle, the Principality Stadium, Civic Centre and stunning Cardiff Bay. Thousands of spectators turn out to cheer on the runners in a city renowned for its sporting passion.
Doctors of the World UK is part of a global network of 17 Médecins du Monde partners; between us we are delivering over 400 projects in more than 70 countries. We help vulnerable people to access medical care – wherever and whoever they are. We work to respond to disasters and emergencies overseas, whilst also making sure that vulnerable people right here in the UK are receiving medical care and treatment via our CQC registered clinic, outreach teams and helpline. All delivered by our team of volunteer doctors and nurses supported by our expert staff. We are here to help everyone access medical care, and many of those we support in the UK are asylum seekers or refugees. Alongside this direct practical support, we campaign tirelessly to make changes to the systems that are preventing our clients from accessing the care they need.
