Get emergency foodCheer on our runners and help end hunger in Cardiff
Thirty-five runners will be putting on their Cardiff Foodbank running tops and taking on the 13.1miles in the 2026 Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 4 October. Money raised by the runners will help the charity provide meals for people in crisis.
Speaking about the runners, Fundraising Officer, Annie Hillman, said: "This year's charity runners are a fantastic group. Among them we've a father and son, two sisters, three Cardiff Foodbank volunteers, friends, partners and to top it, a perfect combo in fancy dress - one running as a box of cereal, the other a carton of UHT milk! Both these items are put in all our emergency food parcels, so we are delighted to see these ‘breakfast buddies’ will be pounding the streets together. Not only that, but they will both have shopping lists on the back of their costumes for all those running behind them, and spectating, to see our most needed items!
"We’d love you to get behind all our runners and donate to their JustGiving pages if you can. They're listed below.
Thank you for all your support as together we are making a difference to end hunger in Cardiff."
Here's the line-up of our runners and links to their JustGiving pages. Please support them if you are able. Diolch!
I wanted to run for Foodbank as, having volunteered for 10 years, I have noticed a shift in the proportion of direct food donations and the need to buy in 'top up' supplies. This coupled with the uplift in demand motivated me to fund raise in order to be able to sustain our commitment to ending hunger in Cardiff.
Cardiff Foodbank are trying to end food hunger in Cardiff, and the job is getting tougher every year for them. I’m running to help the foodbank meet their aim, and try and support those who need our help most.
At 53, I’m taking on my first ever 13.1km Cardiff Half Marathon to challenge myself and raise vital funds for Cardiff Foodbank. Having always been passionate about supporting people in need and giving back to my community .
Cardiff Foodbank offers crucial support to those facing hardship, and fundraising is my way of helping ensure that support remains available to those who depend on it.
You may have already supported one (or more!) of our runners' personal JustGiving pages, but we wanted to share another way that you can support this event. On Cardiff Foodbank's own JustGiving page, you can help support the cost of the charity places and so help us to help more people in crisis.
