Spectator Guide - City of Newport Half Marathon

Watch the runners from the warmth and comfort of the Riverfront Theatre, or at the Blaina Wharf pub near the SDR Bridge. Make your way to Castle Bingo to catch the finish, and then move on to Friars Walk for a spot of lunch after the presentations.

Once the runners have finished, they enter a ‘sterile’ area where they collect their medal, water, t-shirts and other goodies. St John’s Ambulance officers are also there to look after them.

The meet and greet area is once again in the pedestrian area adjacent to the University Building, near the Pedestrian Bridge. From this point you may also watch the runners approaching mile 10 as they proceed from the Riverfront Theatre over the bridge and down the opposite side of the river.

The University Campus Building will be open for refreshments too.
