My Story

 

I'm running the Newport half marathon in memory of Baby William, William was just three weeks old when he tragically lost his life, which took a huge toll on my bestfriend Amy's life. Amy has suffered with a lot of loss in her life, but thankfully she was able to give birth just a short while later to Amari. 
Though Amari never had the chance to meet William his big brother, he still talks about him everyday, and takes his bear named 'William' everywhere with him. William the bear is the same bear with William's ashes that will be running along the Newport half marathon with us🤍 This is all for you William, I never had the chance to meet you, but I've heard so much about you, we will carry your legacy on with us until the very end⭐️🤍

Even a £1 donation could help support families that have lost their babies, children or young adults.


The popular race is a firm favourite on the Welsh running calendar, boasting 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 stunning scenery of the Gwent Levels – with its coastal wildlife and picturesque medieval villages. For those keen to improve their time over 26.2 miles, the course has been named in a list of ‘10 of the fastest marathons in the world’ by Runners World.

The fast and fun supporting half marathon and 10K races give runners of all abilities the opportunity to experience the marathon atmosphere, without committing to the challenging 26.2-mile distance.

Newport is definitely a city on the rise, steeped in history with a multi-cultural vibe – complete with artisan breweries and a rich musical heritage. Races start and finish on the vibrant riverfront in the heart of the regenerated city-centre, where runners can expect electric atmosphere and a high-level of event organisation alongside a warm Welsh welcome.

The event is delivered by R4W, the team behind events like the Cardiff Half Marathon and has been made possible by the support of Associated British Ports and Newport City Council.
