The ABP Newport Wales Marathon launched in 2018, finally satisfying the demand for a major city-centre marathon in Wales. The route was devised by double Olympic marathon runner Steve Brace, and is one of the flattest marathon courses in Europe. The fast course means that 70% of all finishers have claimed a PB.
