Principality Rainbow Roundabout returns for 2025
The Principality Building Society Rainbow Roundabout will return to the Oysho Cardiff Half Marathon for 2025.
Principality, which is headline sponsor of Pride Cymru for the third year, will once again be teaming up with the organisation on the popular course entertainment station.
This year’s event takes place on Sunday 5 October and the vibrant roundabout, located between Roath Park and Lake Spice Restaurant, gives a boost to runners between miles 10 and 12.
Matt Newman, Chief Executive at Run 4 Wales, said: “We’re so pleased to be continuing our partnership with Principality Building Society and Pride Cymru on the return of the Principality Rainbow Roundabout.
“This will be the third year the inclusive course entertainment zone will appear at the Oysho Cardiff Half and runner feedback has always been fantastic.
“Not only is it a great symbol of inclusivity showing that the Cardiff Half is welcoming to all, but its position at miles 10 and 12 really helps to motivate runners when they need it most.
“The Principality Rainbow Roundabout always gives so much vibrancy and positivity and has become an area the runners look forward to reaching as they make their way towards the finish line.”
A full line-up will be announced in the lead up to the event but it is expected that once again there will be a vibrant and colourful atmosphere for both runners and spectators to enjoy, with special performances and entertainment creating an inclusive space for all.
Vicky Wales, Chief Customer Officer at Principality Building Society said: “We’re delighted to once again be headline sponsors of Pride Cymru. As a responsible business, we are committed to championing inclusivity, belonging and advocating for a fairer society.
“Thanks to the passion and dedication of our Pride network; colleagues, their friends and families come together in strength for the march – creating an incredible atmosphere every year. I have no doubt this year will be any different, and I am really looking forward to it!”
