For the second year, Bro Radio is partnering with Hospital Radio Glamorgan to broadcast live from the 2025 Cardiff Half Marathon.

On Sunday, 5th October, the two stations will broadcast live from 9am - 2pm outside Goose on the Loose, on Penarth Marina.

Both stations will be encouraging participants through the four-mile mark of the marathon, with their teams stationed at various points around the 13.1-mile route, sharing the atmosphere, speaking to charities and families of runners live on Bro Radio and Hospital Radio Glamorgan.

Hospital Radio Glamorgan (Registered charity 504534) has been broadcasting since 1967 and broadcasts live from the University Hospital of Wales, serving three hospitals that sit within the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.

Like Bro Radio, the station is manned by volunteers, who give their time to create an uplifting service for patients and the local community.

Hospital Radio Glamorgan Trustee Andrew Woolfe said "This is a fantastic partnership, a great chance to pool resources and collectively cheer on the participants, including three of our very own volunteers, Lewis Fagg and Wayne Childs who are taking part to raise money for our station, and Andrew Lowman-Jones, who's running it for Ty Hafan"

Bro Radio Operations Director Nathan Spackman said "It's great to team up with Hospital Radio Glamorgan for a second year to bring coverage of the Cardiff Half Marathon to all of our listeners. We'd like to thank Goose on the Loose in Penarth Marina for accommodating our outside broadcast vehicle for the morning and we can't wait to encourage everyone running through the four-mile mark once again."

You can listen to Bro Radio on FM, DAB, online and via the free Bro Radio App.

Hospital Radio Glamorgan is available online, via its free dedicated app and on smart speakers.
