About Newport Marathon
The Newport Marathon is a fast, flat road marathon held in Newport, South Wales, and is widely regarded as one of the quickest marathon courses in the UK. With its PB-friendly profile and well-organised event delivery, it attracts runners targeting a personal best or a strong spring marathon performance.
The course follows a largely flat route through the city and surrounding areas, including long, uninterrupted stretches that support consistent pacing. Its relatively low elevation gain and wide roads make it particularly appealing for experienced runners chasing time goals, while still remaining accessible to those stepping up to the marathon distance.
As part of the Newport Running Festival, the event benefits from strong local support, clear course logistics, and a well-established race-day atmosphere.
