Run for The Rescue Hotel
Join our team and run the 2026 Cardiff Half Marathon
Join Team The Rescue Hotel and take on the 2026 Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 4th October, helping to give rescue dogs a second chance at happiness while raising vital funds for The Rescue Hotel.
The event has sold out every year since 2017, so you’ll need to act quickly to secure your entry. By joining our team, you’ll experience the excitement of this iconic race while helping to transform the lives of rescue dogs.
By choosing to run for The Rescue Hotel, you will receive:
A charity place in the 2026 Cardiff Half Marathon
Fundraising support with a minimum target of £300
A Rescue Hotel cheer squad on Penarth Road, with some of our resident dogs cheering you on
A small thank-you gift when you complete the race
This is your chance to combine your love of running with your passion for helping animals. In 2025, our runners raised over £40,000 — together, we can go even further in 2026.

CHARITY PLACE RUNNERS
Join Team The Rescue Hotel as a charity place runner and help give rescue dogs a second chance at life. If offered a charity place, we ask runners to commit to a minimum fundraising target of £300, helping to raise vital funds for dogs in need.
Our friendly and dedicated team will support you every step of the way, with fundraising advice, encouragement, and resources to help you reach your goal and make a real difference.
OWN PLACE RUNNERS
Already have your own place in the race? You can still join Team The Rescue Hotel and help us transform the lives of rescue dogs.
As an own place runner, you’ll receive the same great support as our charity place runners, but with no minimum fundraising target — you’re free to set your own goal while making an impact in a way that works for you.
Together, we can help give every dog the loving home they deserve.
