The ABP Newport Wales 10K adds an exciting extra dimension to the ABP Newport Wales Marathon, giving runners of all abilities the opportunity to be a part of one of Wales’ largest weekends of running – without having to complete the challenging marathon distance. The fast and fun race, which forms part of the Healthspan Wales 10K Series, takes in iconic landmarks, like the city’s Transporter Bridge and the vibrant riverfront in the heart of the regenerated city-centre.
CICRA is dedicated to creating a wider understanding of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly as it affects children and young adults. We provide support and understanding for children and young people and their families. We raise funds to sponsor Research Fellowships and PhD studentships and give grants to support approved medical and scientific research projects in major gastroenterological centres nationwide. Investment in research has led to new treatments and has helped to train many of the specialists who today treat children throughout the UK.
