In support of Women in Marine and to celebrate International Women in Maritime Day, we are excited to announce a special event for all — the Global Women’s Walk 2025 at Cardiff Bay (Penarth side) CF64 1LQ hosted by RYA CW. This event is designed to celebrate women’s achievements in the maritime industry and raise awareness for gender equality, literacy, and learning. As part of our commitment to protect our waters through the Clean Water Sports Alliance we also plan to have a litter pick.
Join us for a relaxed 5km walk around Cardiff Bay, surrounded by the beauty of the marina and coastal landscape. This event is open to all genders and welcomes participants of all fitness levels. This walk is not just an opportunity to get outdoors, but to also show support for women in marine and help create a lasting impact on global literacy and gender equality initiatives.
