Welcome to London Cardiff 24.

Welcome to the UK's longest non-stop relay race, now in its third year. This is one of the toughest challenges a team can face, covering 160 miles in 24 hours non-stop! Can you handle the distance, the lack of sleep, running alone at night...?


The race starts at Twickenham Stadium in London then sets out across the UK, and finishes some 24 hours later at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. It takes teams along country lanes and winding canals, through busy town centres and dark woods, along the edge of the sea, and up some steep hills... Feeling excited yet?
