  1. The 'Gwent Sole Sisters'

    In 2016, Kathryn Cross from Gwent ran her first 5K race using the Couch to 5K smartphone app. Using the power of social media, she set up the Gwent Sole Sisters beginners running group for women of all ages in south Wales.

    The 'sisters' will be running this year's Cardiff half-marathon.

  2. Griffiths confident for Cardiff Half-Marathon

    Welsh runner Dewi Griffiths believes he is getting back to form ahead of Sunday's Cardiff Half-Marathon.

    The 27-year-old finished fourth in last year's event in a personal best time of 1:01'33, and followed that up with a marathon personal best of 2:09'49 in Frankfurt four weeks later.

    Griffiths was then ruled out of the 2018 Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast because of a stress fracture to his hip, but the Swansea Harrier is now looking to test his fitness on home soil this weekend.
