Mind in Gwent

Mind in Gwent is thrilled to be partnering with Run4Wales for the 2026 ABP Newport Marathon Festival.

The festival is a highlight in the Newport calendar, bringing thousands of participants and spectators to our city, along with an electric atmosphere. We have been part of the Newport community for over 45 years and are excited to be such a key part of this incredible event.

We are proud to be the headline charity. We are working to raise awareness of mental health and providing support to those who need us.

Physical activity, especially outdoors, has a number of benefits on mental wellbeing, and we hope all the participants and spectators feel the positive impact of this. Funds raised from this event will go towards providing vital mental health support and services to people, at a time when the demand is higher than ever.
