The route for the ABP Newport 10K has been devised by double Olympic marathon runner Steve Brace.
The race starts and finishes on Newport’s vibrant riverfront, with runners kick-starting their journey with a loop of the city centre, heading north up Usk Way and Skinner Street – taking in the iconic Newport Market, Victorian High Street and historic Newport Castle.
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 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.
