How do I get there?
There are many ways to get to Pontcanna Fields, but make sure you check your route beforehand and leave plenty of time. If you want to use ‘What3words’ to find the exact location of the event venue, please use ///shaped.overnight.invest.

This location is north of Sophia Gardens and opposite Cardiff Caravan and Camping Park.

We want to make sure our events are as environmentally friendly as possible, so we encourage you to use public transport if you can.

By public transport
Wellness Walk Cardiff is located just north of the city centre, but still close to bus routes and train stations. Cardiff train station is a 30 minute walk from the start/finish. The number 25 bus from the train station takes approx 15 minutes alighting at Berthwin Street. Ninian Park train station is approx 25 minutes walk from the start/finish.

The route is on tarmac or concrete paths and pavements, making the route wheelchair accessible. There are numerous roads to cross, please follow all guidance from our marshals to make sure the route is safe for everyone.

Please bring your own reusable water bottle filled. We have removed single-use plastic bottles of water from our start and finish, and instead we can provide water re-fills for you to top up and stay hydrated!

Wellness Walk isn’t about being first across the finish line; this is a friendly, non-competitive walk. You’ll come together with like-minded people from the diabetes community, all prioritising wellness, at the same time as raising funds to support those affected by diabetes.

Paying your registration fee helps us cover some of the cost of putting on your Wellness Walk, but it’s your fundraising which can really make a difference. Support those with diabetes live better for longer by aiming to raise £150 by taking part in a Wellness Walk.
