Join Velindre Cancer Charity for Castle 2 Castle and make strides towards Victory Over Cancer!
One of our most iconic #TeamVelindre events, Castle 2 Castle’s 10.5-mile route takes place between two of South Wales’s most stunningly scenic castles – Caerphilly to Cardiff. An event full of fun, community, togetherness, and dedication – it truly is a magical day in our event calendar.
This year at Castle 2 Castle 2026, we saw 1,800 runners take part – smashing our previous record! And the fundraising amount is still climbing higher and higher, even though we’ve already reached a staggering £161,000!
Want to be one of our Castle 2 Castle 2027 runners?
Make a difference with #TeamVelindre!
Every step our runners take through the small climbs of Caerphilly and the beautiful scenery of Cardiff raises vital funds for the Hospital of Hope, allowing us to continue making a difference to patients and families in Wales.
Will you be one of them?
How we support you
- You will receive dedicated fundraising support from the Charity Team

The power of your support
Your contribution through registration and fundraising would allow us to provide:
- Loveable lion teddies for up to 9 families, providing additional support and comfort to families experiencing a cancer diagnosis.
- Almost three complementary therapy sessions to aid with alleviating anxiety, cancer symptoms and treatment side effects for patients.
- 1-hour specialist counselling sessions, providing one-to-one wellbeing support for patients exactly when they need it.
If all participants hit their £50 fundraising target, we will raise an additional £87,500. Collectively, this could directly support one of the 40+ clinical trials active at Velindre today or even fund up to 2 Clinical Nurse Specialists’ salaries for a year.
The importance of your fundraising is immeasurable.
