Join Wales' largest road race and the second largest half marathon in the UK! The route will take you past some of Cardiff's most iconic landmarks, beautiful scenery and historic buildings. The predominantly flat and fast route makes it perfect for beginners and elites. So what are you waiting for? Join our team and get your place today.

 As part of Team Sands you'll receive

• Warm Sands welcome with fundraising ideas and training tips
• Supportive team emails and Team Sands Whatsapp group to get to know your team 
• Free Sands running vest
• Team Sands cheer spot on race day
• Once-in-a-lifetime experience which will help save babies’ lives and support anyone affected by the death of a baby

The difference you will make

Sands want to ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of time.  We want to campaign for change and support research so that fewer babies die and so that fewer families experience the pain of losing a baby.

We all know someone who has lost a baby. So join Team Sands and help us continue to be there for them. 

It was a lovely sunny day and I met several other runners raising money for Sands. I saw Team Sands in the crowds at mile 7 (ish) and suddenly got a bit emotional! A great and enjoyable day. Here’s to Ben, my boy, Magnus, who the others were running for, and all the other babies who didn’t get a chance.
