Newport Wales Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential
A cool 48°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temperatures rising to 56°F through the course will gradually increase perceived effort in the second half. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 71% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Newport Half Marathon starts and finishes on Usk Way beside Newport's riverfront. It opens with a parade loop of the city centre past the Victorian Market, High Street and Newport Castle, then circles the International Sports Village, home to the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome and Newport Stadium, including a lap of the athletics track. The second half crosses the flat Gwent Levels for a loop around the Newport Wetlands and the village of Goldcliff, before a finish along Usk Way in sight of the Transporter Bridge.
