National Indoor Athletics Centre
Athletics and running track in Cardiff
This is the current record for National Indoor Athletics Centre, a 4 lane synthetic track in Cardiff, Wales. You'll find it at Sports Facilities Management, University of Wales Institute Cardiff, Cyncoed Road, Cardiff, CF23 6XD. The certificate on file expired on 31 December 2004, so treat any times run here as training times until the venue confirms a newer one. It has floodlighting, so winter evening sessions are on. Cardiff Metropolitan University, DSW Para Academy train here, and their sessions are usually the quickest route in if you're new to the venue. Athletics facilities get resurfaced, relit, locked and occasionally closed without much public notice, so this listing is maintained by the people who train on it rather than left to go stale between imports.
