The ABP Newport Wales Marathon is a firm favourite in the Welsh running calendar, boasting one of the flattest routes in Europe. Its route offers some iconic landmarks, like the city’s Transporter Bridge and stunning scenery of the Gwent Levels – with its coastal wildlife and picturesque medieval villages. Newport is definitely a city on the rise, steeped in history with a multi-cultural vibe – complete with artisan breweries and a rich musical heritage. Races start and finish on the vibrant riverfront in the heart of the regenerated city-centre.
