ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

CDF Runners meet every week to offer various running sessions and distances to help you meet your running goals.

We are an affiliated running club which means we are registered to Welsh Athletics, the national governing body for athletics in Wales. However, our training sessions are free and open to both members and non-members.

Whatever your pace, we want to help you achieve your goals – from beginners to seasoned runners. For some people that might be running socially or building back up from an injury, for others that might be competing and representing the club at events across Wales.

We are a supportive community which celebrates our runners at all levels. We want to be a safe, welcoming place whether you are running for the first time or looking to improve your performance. We value all our runners as important contributors to our successes, both socially and competitively, recognising that everyone has a role to play in supporting and inspiring each other.

We are proud of how we have grown as a club since affiliating to Welsh Athletics in 2019 and we have firmly cemented our place in the Welsh running community. Becoming a member of CDF Runners and affiliating to Welsh Athletics is optional, but comes with a host of benefits, the most important of which is supporting the club and being able to influence its development as a member. 

We have Welsh Athletics qualified coaches and running leaders who make sure our training sessions can be adapted for runners at all levels.

We commit to taking a zero tolerance approach to any form of discrimination, in our own sport and other sports, whether in the stands, during competition or amongst officials, coaches, staff and volunteers. 

CDF Runners are supporters of LGBT+ people in Cardiff and across Wales and pride ourselves in providing a safe and welcoming environment for our members.
