The Cardiff 5K - Race for Victory is proudly supported by a number of local businesses.

We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to them all for their generous support

Please can you help us by volunteering.

You don't need to run to be part of the Cardiff 5K.

Volunteers are an essential part in making sure that race day is a huge success.

We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to them all for their generous support.

If you would like to join our volunteers and be an intergral part of the day we would love to hear from you.

You don't need any special skills, just to be reliable, flexible and have lots of enthusiasm.

Volunteering is a great way to have fun, make new friends and enjoy being part of the team that runs a great race and provides a fun evening of family entertainment.

Please contact us ASAP to let us know that you'd like to volunteer, so that we can make you part of the team.

As a BIG THANK YOU, Volunteers will receive a meal voucher (only valid for use on race day) to be redeemed at Da Mara Restaurant, and an Event T-shirt
