Castle 2 Castle 2025
14 September 2025 – Cardiff
Velindre’s iconic Castle 2 Castle run is back for 2025!
Lace up your running shoes and join 1,500 runners for this iconic 10.5-mile fun run takes you on a journey between two of South Wales’ most historic landmarks: Caerphilly Castle and Cardiff Castle.
Over the past 11 years, Castle 2 Castle has grown into one of South Wales’ most cherished running events, uniting thousands of participants in support of Velindre Cancer Charity.
“We wanted to do it all in Dad’s name.”
After losing their incredible dad Russell to cancer in 2024, Laura and Tennille took on Castle2Castle to honour him and raise money for Velindre—where he was treated with such compassion and care.
They’ll be back this year, running not just for the finish line, but for love, for legacy, and for all families going through cancer.

The power of your support
Your £50 fundraising will help us continue providing free psychology and counselling services to our patients
Thanks to supporters like you, we fund an entire team of clinical psychologists and counsellors to provide one-to-one support for patients, family and staff, with the team often seeing up to 400 patients a year.
Collectively our Castle 2 Castle 2025 runners raised an incredible £112,500 for Velindre Cancer Charity. These funds could help us to provide over 2,250 hours of free counselling and psychology sessions, helping patients to process complex emotions, come to terms with their diagnosis, voice their concerns about the future and feel empowered as they navigate their cancer pathway.
