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.
"Simply put, we love rhinos! Our aim is to help the species survive at sustainable levels in their natural habitat. Rhino have been on the planet for 50 million years, and have evolved into their current form throughout that time as the environment and their habitat has changed. They now face their biggest challenge as man restricts their natural habitat and kills them for their horn. They are perhaps symbolic of a struggle between man and the natural world. We aim to help the species survive for future generations, this means that we favour projects that support the development of sustainable populations."
