Route and elevation
Multi-terrain course across farmers fields. If the weather is dry, these trails are very easily runnable, with a mix of hard concrete, easy to run on gravel and hardened mud.
The 1k is a looped course around the recreation ground.
The 5k and the 10k are both looped courses reaching out towards Rickling Green. The 1k and 5k are completely off road, but the 10k has a small 200m road section which will be well marshalled.

Super well organised with friendly and encouraging marshals. Easy parking and felt very inclusive for both experienced runners and those starting out - a real community event.
Plenty of water both on the course and at the finish line .
There are quite a few hilly bits but the cheering and encouragement from the marshals carries you through.
I hope this becomes an annual event
We really enjoyed taking part in the first Newport Fun Run! My youngest son took part in the 1k which was well organised and clearly laid out.
My elder son took part in the 5k and said it was hard but good fun. I exchanged a few emails with the race director before hand and he was super helpful! We hope the event runs again next year!
Fantastic event, enjoyed every minute of it. It was extremely well organised from start to finish. Really friendly atmosphere, with great encouragement from all of the marshals. The trail course was beautiful and well marked out. Highly recommend to anyone if it returns next year.

Really enjoyed this event. Considering that it's the first time this was taking place, the race was well organized, plenty of Marshalls and lots of positive encouragement throughout. Hope it comes back again next year!
