Fundraising is at the heart of the CDF 10K – with many runners choosing to raise money for good causes. Running for a good cause will give a huge boost to the satisfaction you’ll feel on finishing the race – and keep you motivated during your training. We encourage runners to fundraise for Lead Charity Kidney Wales – but it’s up to you!
