2024 Admiral City of Newport Half Marathon

03 March 2024

Update 20 February

General entries have closed and the packs are being posted out this week.

Late entries will be available until Wednesday 28th at 10am - but you must pick up your number from Race HQ in the University Campus on the day. HQ will open from 7.30am. Everyone will receive a finisher's medal, but t-shirts are not available.

Run with us through the heart of the City of Newport and the historic village of Caerleon.

For the first time for this event - the finisher's T-Shirt is an optional extra.

We have kept our entry fee the same for the last few years whilst our operational costs have risen dramatically and we feel this is the best way to balance costs without impacting on the quality of the event. This is also more sustainable and helps to cut down on waste. We will of course be awarding all finishers with one of our popular unique medals.

All proceeds from this event are used to provide vital hospice services in our community.

Start – 9am • Start Location- Usk Way, Newport City Centre, Newport NP20 2BP
Bespoke Medal

Raise funds for St David’s Hospice Care - your support will ensure vital hospice services are available to anyone in the community who needs help.

Not able to run with us on the day? we offer a virtual option too - with or without a t-shirt.
