The Phoenix South Wales - Lest We Forget event is a 7-hour timed race held along the picturesque Cardiff Bay waterfront. Participants choose their distance, from 5km to ultra, completing laps of a flat and fast 5.3km out-and-back course that passes iconic landmarks including the Norwegian Church, the Senedd, and the Wales Millennium Centre. The fully tarmac route is accessible to runners and walkers of all abilities, with flexible 'rock up and run' starts and a generous cut-off. The event offers a bespoke medal, chip timing, and a well-stocked aid station, all in honour of those lost in conflict.
