Run with us through the heart of the City of Newport and the historic village of Caerleon whilst raising vital funds for St David’s Hospice Care.

Starting on Usk Way at the Riverfront in the heart of the City Centre, the route passes over the renowned SDR Bridge, heads for the cenotaph memorial at Clarence Place making a sharp turn on Newport Bridge. It continues along Caerleon Road to the charming village of Caerleon. Runners follow the River Usk back to Newport, ultimately passing the Riverfront Building and crossing the Millennium Bridge, before once again taking on the SDR Bridge. The final mile follows the picturesque river path, finishing behind the University Building, where participants can collect water, t-shirts, medals, and snacks.
