A group of Cardiff solicitors say they won't be found guilty of not training for this year's HSBC Cardiff 10K Run.

 

Staff at Wales'  largest independent  law firm Hugh James are taking part in the event's popular Corporate Team Challenge with money raised from the Run being used by its official charity partner Kidney Wales to help children affected by kidney cancer and renal failure.

 

More than 50 companies from across Wales have already signed-up to the Corporate Team Challenge making this year's entry a record-breaker.

 

 Matthew Tossell, Managing Partner at Hugh James,  said: " Hugh James are proud to support Kidney Wales in this year's HSBC Cardiff 10K run. They undertake incredibly valuable support for families affected by kidney cancer and renal failure within Wales. We wish all the runners the greatest of success with this race and very much hope they raise as much money as possible for this very worthy cause. "

 

Roy J. Thomas, Chairman of the HSBC Cardiff 10K Organising Committee, said: "The support of businesses in Cardiff and across Wales of this year's event has surpassed all our expectations. We not only have record number of participants from members of the general public, but businesses too, which underlines just how popular this City event is and sends a huge message of support to kidney patients."

 

Entry prices to the Corporate Challenge are £250. Individual entries are just £16 for affiliated club runners and £18 for non-affiliated runners. All entries receive a free race pack, while the first 3,000 will also receive a free race-day T-shirt.  Medals are awarded to everyone who finishes the race.

 

For younger runners and families there is the ever-popular HSBC Cardiff 2K Run, which takes place on the same day. More than 500 families took part last year. Entry for this year's event is just £15 for a family of four and £5 for individual entries.
