The race is one of the biggest highlights in Cardiff's calendar, with spectators creating an electric atmosphere as they cheer on the tens of thousands of runners making their way past the city's landmarks. For those taking part, there will be little chance of rain according to the Met Office, with temperatures remaining slightly warm for the time of year.
Route and closures
The race begins outside Cardiff Castle before taking runners past the Principality Stadium and Cardiff City Stadium, through Penarth Marina and Cardiff Bay, and towards Roath Park before finishing in the Civic Centre.
People are being warned to plan ahead with road closures in place throughout the city to ensure the safety of those taking part. There are also changes on the rail, with Cathays railway station closing at 11am and a queuing system in place at Cardiff Central.
