Run the Newport Marathon with #TeamCardiff

Experience one of the UK's flattest marathons and go for a PB at the ABP Newport Wales Marathon on 13 April 2025.

The ABP Newport Marathon is one of the newest events to the #TeamCardiff calendar. It's a popular race which boasts one of the flattest marathon courses in Europe. Over 70% of all finishers have claimed a PB on a route that offers iconic landmarks like the city’s Transporter Bridge and the picturesque Gwent Levels.

As part of #TeamCardiff you can choose to support either Cardiff University’s neuroscience and mental health, or cancer research. By supporting the next generation of researchers, you can help accelerate life-changing discoveries to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for people living with a wide range of conditions.

Cardiff University’s neuroscience and mental health researchers are developing new treatments for a wide range of debilitating conditions including ADHD, depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s.
