March for Men

1 Marathon. 1 Cause: SAVE LIVES!

You might be thinking, “What? A marathon to save lives? How is this possible?!”.

Well yes. It is possible!

The name of this race is “March for Men” and it is a charity marathon to raise funds for Prostate Cancer. It is a family-friendly event where you can walk along Pontcanna Fields and have fun with your friends or your family while you are helping to fight cancer.

The purpose of the charity is to raise funds needed for vital research into the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, with the aim of saving men’s lives. To collect money the charity encourages walkers to back their campaign by completing a 2 km, 5 km or 10 km route around the park.

What you need to know:

1. You can choose from a 2k, 5k or 10k route (the shortest distance is fully accessible for people using wheelchairs or with pushchairs)
2. There is a registration fee of £10 and a suggested fundraising target of £50
3. Children under 18 are free but have to be accompanied by a guardian over 18
4. All routes will be signed and marshalled (no need for a map)

The marathon will take place at Pontcanna Fields on Sunday 16th June 2019, from 10:00am until 3:00pm. There isn't any age restrictions and dogs are welcome of course.

It is also the Father's day, so what are you waiting for?! Take the whole family and participate in the March for Men! Now we just have to hope the weather is good for our walkers and runners, else it will be a very muddy trek through the fields! We wish everyone participating the best of luck!
