ABP Newport Marathon

The route for the ABP Newport Marathon was devised by double Olympic marathon runner Steve Brace. Its flat and fast course offers iconic city centre landmarks as well as the stunning natural scenery and coastal wildlife of the nearby Gwent Levels. 

The races start and finish on Newport’s vibrant riverfront, with runners kick-starting their marathon journey with a parade loop of the city centre, heading north up Usk Way and Skinner Street – taking in the traditional Victorian Market, High Street and historic Castle before returning down Usk Way and back past the start line, which will still be buzzing with spectators.
