Natasha Cockram is the Welsh record holder in the marathon.
She is from Newport but has recently moved to Norfolk so she can’t wait to compete in the Welsh capital. She switched to the marathon in 2018. She will be using the Cardiff Half as part of her preparation for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
She said: “I love coming back and racing on home soil. I last did the Cardiff Half in 2017 and the atmosphere was amazing. The route takes you past all the brilliant things we all love about Cardiff. I’ve already achieved the standard for Commonwealth Games but this weekend will be a good benchmark for me to see where I am at. After the last two years, it will be great to be back racing through the streets of Cardiff.”
