New VI Running Group in Cardiff

Cardiff VI Runners has just been launched. It is a friendly and supportive space for blind and visually impaired runners (and guides!) to connect, share experiences, and find motivation. Whether you’re just starting out or training for your next race, you will be part of the team.

A Guide Running course will be held on Sunday 16th November and there has been great interest from the local running community. Once this is all up and running it is hoped that the first official run will be on Sunday 23rd November. The runs will be a very informal, social run on Sunday mornings at 10am and will be starting and finishing at the Sports Wales building in Sophia Gardens. This is a group for all abilities, and there will be the opportunity to go for a coffee after the run. Both beginners and experienced runners are welcome, and that goes for both the sighted and VI runners.

Cardiff VI Runners has a Facebook group that will be used to share information - you can visit it here.
