- The Cardiff Cross Challenge Is Getting Wales Up On Its Feet
Special Report by Owen Morgan
In London, it used to be said that you were never more than six feet away from a rat.
In some parts of Cardiff last Saturday, there’s a fair chance you were never more than six feet away from a runner.
Bute Park and Llandaff Fields were inundated with thousands of participants taking part in two very different events.
From primary school children to pensioners, first time fun-runners to Paris Olympians – all could all be found striding around the scenic parks.
And that’s before you start factoring in the various park runs taking place in and around the capital on a typical Saturday morning.
Just a few weeks after hosting the massive Cardiff Half Marathon, the city was once again enhancing its growing reputation as a running mecca.
