🏃♂️🎉 Newport Marathon Festival 2026 is just around the corner, set to take place this Sunday, 19th April! Get ready to cheer on over 10,000 runners as they tackle the marathon, half marathon, 10K, and junior races. With its flat course, Newport is known for being a great spot for runners, so expect some impressive times! 🏅
Unfortunately, if you haven’t registered yet, all spots are filled. But that doesn’t mean you can’t join the excitement as a spectator! The race kicks off at 9am for the marathon and half marathon, with the 10K starting at 9.45am. Don’t miss out on the future challengers race at 12pm, the toddler dash at 12.15pm, and the family fun run at 12.45pm—all starting from Usk Way.
🚧 Plan your day around road closures, with Usk Way shut from 3am to 7pm and other parts of the city centre closed from 7.30am to 3pm. Make use of the park and ride from Celtic Manor, but remember, it’s fully booked, so plan ahead!
For the best views, head over to the event village in Usk Way or catch the action from High Street or Blaina Wharf. If you’re in Redwick, you’re in for a treat with two sightings of the runners! 👟🥳
Whether you’re supporting someone or just taking in the vibrant atmosphere, it’s set to be an unforgettable day in Newport. Get there early, plan your journey, and let’s make this Marathon Festival a day to remember! 🌟 #NewportMarathon #RunNewport #CheerOnTheRunners
