The event was established in 2013,[1] organised by the charity St. Davids Hospice Care. BackgroundThe title sponsor is locally based Admiral Insurance, and the race has grown to accommodate up to almost 2,000 runners.[2] Additional sponsors include Sketchers, the South Wales Argus, the University of South Wales, Newport City Council and the city's sports authority Newport Live. The course is scenic, first travelling into Pillgwenlly and past the Grade 1-listed Transporter Bridge, then routing along the Newport city riverfront, Usk river pathways, and onto the historic Route 88 Caerleon to Cardiff Sustrans cycle path, as well as sometimes heading over iconic bridges in the city. Each year the route passes the historic Roman remains of the fortress town Caerleon (Isca Augusta), which dates back to 74 AD. The route includes a section past the UK's best preserved amphitheatre, the thermae at Caerleon Roman Baths Museum and the National Roman Legion Museum, before following Caerleon Road back into the city centre for the finishline. It is held in March of each year, with the exception of 2018. Its sister event is the ABP Newport Marathon, which was inaugurated in 2018.[3] Event history2019 results1,931 runners competed in the 2019 race, which took place on 3 March 2019, the first held since 2017. The event also included a 2 km fun run and other family events on 2 March, at Friars Walk, Newport.[4] The race consisted of wet conditions but mild temperatures. Competitors included local AM for Newport East John Griffiths[5] and TV personality CJ de Mooi[6]. The male winner was the course record holder Chris Carpanini, winning for the second time with a time of 01:08:18. Sioned Howells of Amman Valley Harriers was the fastest female with a time of 01:22:59. [7] 2018 cancellationIn 2018, the Newport Half Marathon was beset by unseasonably snowy weather, with two attempted dates on Sunday, 4 March and then again on Sunday, 17 March both cancelled.[8] Organisers St Davids Hospice Care's fundraising efforts were hit severely.
