The route for the ABP Newport 10K has been devised by double Olympic marathon runner Steve Brace.
The race will start and finish in the heart of the city on Usk Way, kick-starting with a loop of the city centre and historic Commerical Street – including many listed buildings dating from the Victorian period.
The course will include a loop of Newport’s International Sports Village, which is home to the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome, Newport Stadium and Dragon Park – and even take in a part-lap of the athletics track!
The race will conclude with views of the historic Transporter Bridge ahead of a sprint finish back to the city-centre along Usk Way.
It adds an exciting extra dimension to the ABP Newport Marathon, giving runners of all abilities the chance to be a part of one of Wales’ largest weekends of running – without having to complete the challenging marathon distance.
Please note that the map representation on Strava is an estimate and the course has been measured by a AUKCM Grade 1/IAAF/AIMS Grade B Course Measurer
