This race series is held on a flat, traffic-free loop of roads and good-quality
paths in a scenic park close to central Cardiff. The Self-Transcendence Races are part of a global series of events founded in the late seventies by Sri Chinmoy, ranging from track meets to ultra-distance & multiday races.
The Self Transcendence Race series in Cardiff is ideal for first-time racers and beginner
runners, as the courses are flat and the distances are moderate. It is also popular
with club runners chasing PB times or looking for a fast workout as preparation
for 10k races etc. Water and SIS "GO Electrolyte" sportsdrinks are
provided at the start/finish (and also mid-race on the 4-miler).
You can register in advance for any or all of the races using our entry form (available on this web site or from Run and Become) and you can register for the 2, 3 and 4 mile races together ONLINE (see link above)! Alternatively just turn up on the night between 6pm and 6.40pm and you can register then.
Medals & Prizes
Medals are awarded to the first seven male finishers and first seven female finishers. There are also medals for the first three men and women aged 50-59, first two men and women 60-69 and first man and woman over 70.
Series prizes this year will be £30 vouchers from Run and Become as usual, except for the top two prizes (Men's & Women's Series Winners) which will be Garmin Forerunner 50 Speed & Distance watches from GARMIN, worth £100. There will be series awards for the first man and first woman in the "open" category and each of the three veteran categories mentioned above (these are different to the usual 35+ veteran categories used in other races - we use the same age bands as the other Self-Transcendence races held throughout the world). Please note that the series prizes are based on a points system and you must run at least two races out of the three to qualify.
A goody bag from Run and Become will be given to anyone completing all three individual races - these will be handed out after the awards at the 4 Mile Race and will contain useful items from our sponsors: Run and Become, Saucony, Mizuno, Nike, Asics and Science in Sport. Results and a gallery of race photos are posted on this web site within 24 hours (hopefully!!) of each race.

May 16th (Friday)
7:00pm 2 miles 13 years
June 6th (Friday) 7:00pm 3 miles 15 years
