ABP Newport Marathon
The ABP Newport Marathon is an established event in the Welsh running calendar. The course is noted for being one of the flattest marathon routes in the United Kingdom. The races begin and end on the riverfront area in the center of Newport, a city known for its history, multi-cultural atmosphere, and various local breweries.
The route takes participants past several landmarks, including the city's Transporter Bridge. It also transitions through the Gwent Levels, which features coastal scenery, local wildlife, and medieval villages. The event serves as a festival of running, incorporating multiple distances to accommodate different preferences:
- Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon
- 10K
The terrain remains consistently level throughout the routes, providing a flat surface for participants. The finish line is located at the regenerated city-centre riverfront, where the local sporting community provides a welcoming environment for all those completing their respective distances.
