RUN FOR CHARITY
Fundraising is at the heart of the ABP Newport Marathon Festival – with many runners choosing to raise money for good causes. Running for a good cause will give a huge boost to the satisfaction you’ll feel on finishing the race – and keep you motivated during your training.
We encourage runners to fundraise for Lead Charity Partner Mind in Gwent or one of our official charities – but it’s up to you!
A full list of our official charities can be seen by clicking below. You can also use your own space and opt to use it to run for any charity of your choice.
