This year's Race For Life is sharing Cooper’s Field with the event ‘Depot In The Castle’, which takes place in Cardiff Castle on the same day as this event.

We want to provide you with the best possible experience for this event, including getting to and from our event sites.

Depot In The Castle will be entering their event from Castle Mews and North Road, so we are asking Race For Life participants and spectators to please access the park from Castle Street by Pettigrew’s Tea Rooms and Millennium Bridge from Sophia Gardens.

We will be working with Depot In The Castle to provide stewards at park entrances to ensure our participants and spectators arrive and are able to make their way to our event site which is located in the northern section of Cooper’s Field as quickly and safely as possible.
